Part of the museum with an exhibition on the theme of war and peace in the world of children. Unlike in some middle class environment in Hong Kong, children in the West are not shielded from the harsh realities of the adult world, including the streak of violence buried deep in the psyche of apparently "civilized" human beings and their capacity to inflict suffering on other people for one reason or another. Western nations have just bombed one of the training camps of ISIS, killing more than 40 people in retaliation of the killing of nearly 200 Frenchmen in Paris and there are daily killings in Gaza, Syria, Lebanon etc and huge numbers of Syrians are now flooding daily across the borders of countries in the European Union to escape more killings in the civil war in their own country or in the national conflicts between the Arabs and Jews, in what some think of as the conflict between Islamic and Western values.
