What to expect
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum is a museum located in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, dedicated to documenting the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in World War II. The museum collects and displays belongings left by the victims, photos, and other materials that convey the horror of the event, supplemented by exhibits that describe Hiroshima before and after the bombings and others that present the current status of the nuclear age. The museum has two sections: the East Wing, which explains the history of Hiroshima City before the bomb and the lives of Hiroshima citizens during World War II, and the West Wing, which concentrates on the damage of the bomb. The museum also features interactive displays, including a model of the city that uses projection mapping to demonstrate the effects of the bomb blast. With over 50 million visitors since its opening in 1955, the museum is a significant destination for school field-trips and international visitors
