The museum hosts regular events such as discussions on current affairs, seminars, workshops by visiting researchers or artists.
Our previous events include:
20 November 2025: Excursion to Malmö’s Synagogue
On 20 November, the museum team and students from the LLM in International Human Rights Law at Faculty of Law at Lund University undertook an expedition to the synagogue of Judiska Församlingen Malmö. We received a tour of the building, an introduction to the history of Malmö’s Jewish community, and we even got to taste challah. We thank Judiska Församlingen Malmö, and especially our guide Mino, for the hospitality!
20 September 2025: Lund’s Culture Night
As every year, the Museum participated in Lund’s Culture Night. This time, we showcased a few selected objects in the room we soon hope to be able to convert to our new museum space.

The Museum team went on an expedition to Malmö’s City Archive to learn more about local history and how to make historic documents and artifacts accessible to a wider public.
28 August 2025: Annual Human Rights Walk through Lund
Museum team members invited the newly enrolled students of Lund’s LLM in International Human Rights Law to human-rights themed guided tour through Lund.
4 June 2025: Opening of the Peace Garden
We were honoured to receive a special gift from Mark van IJzendoorn, Head Gardener at the Peace Palace in The Hague: a donation of seeds from the Peace Palace grounds!
To celebrate, we held a small planting ceremony here at the International Law Museum. Since then, the first signs of growth have already begun to appear – a living symbol of hope, care, and peace.
We’re excited to see our Peace Garden grow, and we look forward to sharing its journey with all of you.
30 May 2025: Inaugural International Law Board Game Night
The Museum hosted its first international law board game night at the Faculty of Law. Games that were played include the International Game of Justice, Article 27, the UN Game of World Domination, and the UN Flags of the World Game.
13 May 2025: Witnessing genocide: Experience of Nazi Concentration Camps: Visit of UB’s Ravensbrück Archives
In 1945, about 20 000 survivors of German concentration camps were evacuated to Sweden. Their experiences were documented by a working group called “The Polish Research Institute in Lund“. The materials of the Institute are housed in Lund’s University Library and include, amongst many other things, drawings and paintings, letters, poems & photographs. We visited the archive and learned about the collection, the stories that emerge from it and the importance of remembering the Holocaust.
12 May 2025: The end of World War 2 through the eyes of two German children (på Svenska)
A conversation with two Lund residents who experienced the second world war as children in Germany.
