After the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC this is one of the best museums we have been to. The events leading up to Aug. 6, 1945, and the dropping of the bomb that day, and what came after are all well documented. We used the headsets which have great explanations.

I think everyone visiting or living in Japan should visit the Peace memorial museum. it is really well presented and I must say very touching. It is important to know and learn about the true story and to understand what they've been through.

The accounts of children, like that of the 3 year old who just loved to ride his bike, are tastefully described and are very moving. People moved through the place in quiet, sombre lines but are jerked back to reality outside by the sounds of Japanese children waiting to view what war did to their people.
