What makes this place special?

At a Glance

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum presents the human impact of the atomic bombing through victims' belongings, survivor testimony and historical materials.

Inside Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, its exhibitions connect individual lives with the destruction of the city and the continuing consequences of nuclear weapons. Objects and accounts give the visit a personal focus alongside historical context. The museum is an indoor exhibition venue, distinct from walking through the surrounding memorial park.

Know before you go

Choose your entry time before buying: the first hour and the late entry windows require an online ticket. During ordinary daytime hours you can buy on site, but the museum recommends advance WEB purchase to reduce ticket-counter queuing; a WEB ticket does not guarantee immediate entry. Check the latest seasonal hours and closures, including15–20February2027. Keep the museum visit separate from your park walk. Photography for publication requires prior permission.
