About
Established in 1955, The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum is one of the main attractions in Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park (広島平和記念資料館) . The museum is dedicated to documenting and displaying items and artifacts from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima during WW2. There are two buildings which focus on the nuclear bomb attack and the history of Hiroshima before and after the attack but the the museum's main focus concentrates on August 6, 1945 the day the bomb was dropped.
