This section of the museum provides visitors with an opportunity to think about issues related to war, nuclear weapons and peace in order to realize a world without nuclear weapons.

A 5-minute walk from the Hamaguchi-machi streetcar stop we find the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum. Paying an admission fee of ¥200 you can learn everything about the second atomic bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki on 9 August 1945 at 11:02:35 am, the tragedy that happened, the path to recovery and the history of nuclear arms development. The museum is a modern building with an amazing architecture and design. I think we can consider the museum as an art form in its own too.
