IMAGINE PEACE TOWER is an outdoor work of art conceived by Yoko Ono in memory of John Lennon. It is situated on Viðey Island in Reykjavík, Iceland. The artwork was dedicated to John by Yoko at its unveiling on October 9th 2007, John Lennons 67th birthday.
IMAGINE PEACE TOWER symbolizes Lennons and Onos continuing campaign for world peace - which began in the sixties, was sealed by their marriage in 1969 and will continue forever.
The words IMAGINE PEACE are inscribed on the Well in 24 different languages.
IMAGINE PEACE TOWER is composed of a tall shimmering tower of light that will appear every year and be visible from October 9th (Johns birthday) until December 8th (the anniversary of his passing).
In addition, the Tower will illuminate from Winter Solstice (December 21st 28th), on New Years Eve (December 31st) and the first week of spring (March 21st -28th). It is lit from 2 hours after sunset until midnight, and until dawn on New Years Day.
On 9th October, John Lennons birthday, Yoko Ono asks the people of Iceland to join her and many others across the rest of the world in praying for peace and stability.
At 8pm, as IMAGINE PEACE TOWER is illuminated on the island of Viðey, in Reykjavik, Iceland, she asks everyone to join together and let the power of light and prayer become a collective expression of the desire for peace and harmony on our planet.
Dear Friends,
Please join me not only in remembering John on October 9th but also in spreading the message of peace. This is something that was so important to John - the fact that we could all work together for the positive good of our planet. He would have loved how we are all mobilizing ourselves in thought and in action.
It's time for Action and the Action is PEACE!
with love, yoko
Yoko Ono

Dearest Yoko, I'm catching up after all these years. I had not seen the Peace Tower on tv maybe once, it is truely Cool! I spent 14 years out of 29 homeless and penniless being chased all over America by gov. for my Warmonger, Whoremonger, Slavemonger British uncles, for not playing kissey-poo and make-up. They would have 'let' me see my children, if I had. They said 'I' was mean to my uncles by refusing visitations with my babies. LOL! I Love you, and Thank-you for doing what you do!
You continue to hold the space for global healing, which resounds in all your gorgeous contributions to the human race and I for one appreciate and thank you. BTW, many years ago I was commissioned to paint a painting of you and John and Sean, when you sailed aboard "The Imagine", off Palm Beach. Do you remember, as John evidentally wrote a song to Sean,, called Tiger Lilly, which I have also painted into the painting. BTW I also have a great Love story...
