🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum (Atomic Bomb Dome) is the only surviving building from the site of the first atomic bomb explosion on August 6, 1945. Through the efforts of many people, including the citizens of Hiroshima, the building has been preserved exactly as it was after the bomb went off. Not only is it a stark and powerful symbol of the most destructive force ever created by humankind, it also expresses hope for world peace and the eventual elimination of all nuclear weapons.
