The museum is an excellent place to learn about the Hiroshima bombs, before, during and after. There is an amazing and touching movie in english that will touch your heart. The museum will definitely inspire you to advocate peace. You CANNOT go to Hiroshima and not visit this amazing place.

Everyone in the world should visit the Peace Dome...
