Communicating the reality of the atomic bombing to people with the aim of abolishing nuclear weapons and achieving lasting world peace
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum opened in 1955 with the goal of conveying the true nature of the atomic bombing to people around the world and contributing to the realization of the abolition of nuclear weapons and lasting world peace, which are the spirit of Hiroshima.
At 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, Hiroshima was hit by the world's first atomic bomb.
The city was almost entirely destroyed, and many lives were lost. Those who barely survived suffered great physical and mental trauma, and many survivors continue to suffer to this day.
The Peace Memorial Museum collects and exhibits personal belongings of atomic bomb survivors, as well as photographs and documents depicting the devastation of the bombing. It also introduces Hiroshima's history before and after the bombing and the state of the nuclear age.
The museum also hosts lectures by atomic bomb survivors about their experiences, and lends out materials for peace education.
