A local would say...

A child's melted lunch box, a watch stopped at 8:15am — objects that make the unimaginable devastatingly real.

The displays here are confronting and deeply personal: ragged clothes, a child's melted lunch box, a watch stopped at 8:15am. The east building presents the broader history of Hiroshima and the destructive power of nuclear weapons, while the main building holds the salvaged aftermath. This museum will change you. Allow yourself time to process what you see, and don't feel obligated to rush to the next attraction afterward. Some experiences need breathing room.
