Top Page A-bomb Artifacts
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum stores a variety of materials related to the atomic bombing. Clothes and wristwatches worn by victims; roof tiles melted by the heat; glass bottles, rice bowls and coins that melted into barely recognizable lumps―A-bomb artifacts like these convey the reality the damage caused by the atomic bombing in Hiroshima. We also have materials that reveal details of life in those days, such as clothing coupons and air-raid hoods.
