Visitors are encouraged to explore the scale and beauty of the artwork, to take a moment of stillness, and to appreciate the personal messages shared by people from all walks of life. 

Peace Doves is a large-scale, mass participation artwork featuring thousands of paper doves carrying personal messages of peace, hope and love. The doves all carry unique messages, written by visitors, school children, and community groups, and together they form a breathtaking installation that offers a serene space for contemplation and hope. Bathed in gentle, evocative lighting and at times accompanied by an original score by David Harper, the exhibit transforms the venue into a sanctuary of quiet reflection.
