The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum shows the bomb and the subsequent child, including the fused tricycle, scale models and pictures of the post-blast Hiroshima streets. Many people can find them depressing show, disturbing or annoying, but they represent a major part of history that can not be ignored.

The museum started in 1949, when the atomic bomb display room (aka A-Bomb Memorial Hall) was established. Many people in Hiroshima have been useful collection of works of art of the A-bomb explosion. The East Wing, the latest addition to write history in Hiroshima, the bombing of the development and the final decision to close the A-bomb. It also details the lives of people in Hiroshima during World War II after the bombing, and close to the facts of the present nuclear age efforts to world peace. In this wing, a model showing the extensive damage done to the city after the bombing.

The West Wing raises the issue on the actual effects of the bombing. This wing includes the following:

Material Witness: which shows hair, watches, clothing and personal effects worn by victims of the bombings

Heat Rays Compensation: show that what happened to the metal, wood, glass, stone, after the meat and under intense heat

Blast Damages: show the destruction attributed to aftershocks

Radiation Damage: which goes into details of the health effects caused by the victims.

The collection, the museum will continue to appeal to some 1.5 million visitors from Japan and other countries each year. It stimulates the elimination of nuclear armaments and the implementation of an unconditional and lasting world peace.

Perhaps the most depressing of the entire museum complex is that it is a very beautiful and peaceful, and all Japanese in Hiroshima is very friendly to strangers. Then we sort of gratitude and hope that we, the human race to finally know that this terrible past behind us.
