The Gates of Peace
The museum was established in August 1955 with the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Hall (now the International Conference Center Hiroshima). It is the most popular of Hiroshima’s destinations for school field-trips from all over Japan and for international visitors. 53 million people had visited the museum from its opening in 1955 through 2005, averaging over one million visitors per year. The architect of the main building was Kenzō Tange.

Unfortunately the main part of the museum was under renivation, but I still saw some haunting images and items. This was a very interesting museum. Makes you think of the horrors humanity is capable of.
