Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum

The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum is dedicated to preserving the history and promoting peace after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. It displays artifacts, photographs, and testimonies that illustrate the devastating impact of nuclear weapons on the city and its people. The museum aims to educate visitors about the horrors of war, the importance of nuclear disarmament, and the resilience of Hiroshima’s survivors. Located near the Atomic Bomb Dome—a preserved building from the bombing—the museum serves as a powerful reminder of the need for peace and the prevention of future nuclear conflicts.
