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 aim of conveying the reality of the damage caused by the atomic bomb to people all over 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 the first city in the world to be hit by an atomic bomb. The city was almost completely destroyed, and many lives were lost. Those who barely managed to survive suffered great mental and physical damage, and many survivors are still suffering to this day. The Peace Memorial Museum collects and exhibits the belongings of survivors, as well as photographs and materials showing the devastation caused by the bomb, and introduces the history of Hiroshima before and after the bombing, and the situation in the nuclear age. It also hosts events such as lectures by survivors on their experiences of the bombing.
