What makes it special
About Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum
- Deepen Your Understanding of History: The exhibits are not just records, but a way to convey human dignity and the hope for peace. By visiting the East Building and then the Main Building in order, you can systematically understand everything from the historical context to the specific details of the damage.
- Allow Ample Time: The exhibits are vast and require time to fully process. While the average visit is about 45 minutes, we strongly recommend allocating at least 1 to 1.5 hours to ensure you can read through the materials thoroughly.
- Connect with Global Messages: The facility features messages from all over the world. Reading the words left by visitors from both Japan and abroad will help you realize the profound meaning this place holds for people globally.
