- Provide a positive experience at the Gernika Peace Museum.
- Bring visitors (schools, families, and other groups) closer to peace education, education in values, and the historic themes of the Museum (Spanish Civil War, the bombing of Gernika, exile and the history of Gernika-Lumo in general).

- Arouse reflections, feelings, sensations and knowledge.
