You can learn about the tragedy that took place in Hiroshima in 1945 through exhibits that show the extent of the damage caused by the atomic bomb, which ultimately took the lives of about 140,000 people. The Hall also features a 360-degree panoramic video that recreates the scene of Hiroshima immediately after the bombing.
