The countdown begins. There is just over one month left until the “History Rocks” project officially kicks off and we are excited to announce that we’ve hit a significant milestone. There are now over 100 museums from around the globe spanning 27 territories participating in the worldwide premiere of “The War To End All Wars – The Movie” this November! See the full list of participating museums below.
“Reaching over 100 museums is an important milestone. We wanted to create something that makes our fans visit and help their local museums, and I’m beyond happy to see that it’s working. We’re grateful to anyone who suggested a museum to us by using our “Suggest a museum” form on our movie’s website. The form is now closed following thousands of suggestions, but museums are still urged to contact us if they wish to participate. It means a lot to us to see how many involved have been enthusiastic, both fans and museums.”
Pär Sundström
The global premiere of “The War To End All Wars – The Movie” will take place between November 4-19, 2023, in the two weeks surrounding the 105th anniversary of Armistice Day. Museums worldwide are gearing up to showcase this film in their own way – some have opted for single screenings, some will host multiple screenings, and others will be combining their screenings with other World War 1-related exhibits and events. The beauty of this project is that those participating have the creative freedom to shape their event any way they deem fit.
As our “History Rocks” project surges forward with over 100 museums on board, it stands as a testament to the profound impact of the unification of music and history to inspire audiences worldwide. In collaboration with these museums, we are poised to make history truly rock for all who engage with this project.

About the movie
Following years of hard work and research, we have created “The War To End All Wars – The Movie” in partnership with Yarnhub. This is a 67-minute long animated musical motion picture which is being released in English but will be made available with subtitles in a number of languages to cater to global audiences. The film vividly tells the World War 1 tales from Sabaton’s most recent studio album, “The War To End All Wars”.
