Schmoe House / Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum

After the atomic bombing, American Floyd Schmoe built a building for the people of Hiroshima who lost their homes. Hiroshima City relocated and renovated one of the buildings, known as the "Schmoe Hall," and opened it on November 1, 2012 as the "Schmoe House," a facility that showcases the support that was given to Hiroshima from overseas after the bombing. In addition to Schmoe's activities, the museum showcases the various forms of support that were given to Hiroshima from overseas after the bombing, such as Dr. Marcel Junod, a Swiss doctor who delivered a large amount of medicine to Hiroshima immediately after the bombing, and Norman Cousins, who started a relief campaign for children who had lost their families. At the Schmoe House, an exhibit guide will guide you through the building and exhibits. However, you must apply to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum's Academic Affairs Division (FAX: 082-542-7941, E-mail: gakugei@pcf.city.hiroshima.jp) at least two weeks in advance of the desired date and time.
