The Hiroshima Peace Memorial
Museum is located in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, in central
Hiroshima, Japan. It was established in August 1955 with the
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Hall. The museum exhibit presents the
facts of the atomic bombing, with the aims of contributing to the
abolition of nuclear weapons throughout the world, and of
promoting world peace. It is the most popular of Hiroshima's
destinations for school field-trips from all over Japan and for
international visitors, too. Fifty-three million people had
visited the museum from its opening in 1955 through 2005. The
number of visitors is over one million per year. The architect of
the main building was Kenzo Tange.
