The Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum is an incredibly powerful and moving museum that provides a haunting and emotional account of the devastating impact of the atomic bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki on August 9th, 1945. Located just a short distance from the hypocenter of the explosion, the museum is an important reminder of the horror of nuclear warfare and the need to work towards peace. The exhibits in the museum are extremely well-curated and provide a detailed and emotional account of the events leading up to the bombing, the immediate aftermath of the attack, and the long-term impact on the people of Nagasaki. The artifacts on display, such as photographs, personal belongings, and fragments of the bomb itself, are incredibly powerful and provide a visceral reminder of the human cost of war. One of the most impressive aspects of the museum is the way in which it balances a sense of horror and tragedy with a message of hope and peace. Throughout the exhibits, there is a strong emphasis on the need to work towards a world free from nuclear weapons and to promote peace and understanding between nations. Overall, the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum is a deeply moving and thought-provoking museum that should be on the itinerary of anyone visiting Nagasaki. It is a reminder of the horrors of war and the importance of working towards a more peaceful future. I highly recommend a visit to this powerful and important museum.

බලන්න වටින තැනක්. Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum At 11:02 a.m. on August 9, 1945, the explosion of an atomic bomb devastated Nagasaki. The ferocious heat and blast indiscriminately slaughtered its inhabitants. Even the people who managed to survive continue to this day to suffer from late effects. Five decades have passed since that day. Now the atomic bomb survivors are advancing into old age and their memories are fading into the mist of history. The question of how to inform young people about the horror of war, the threat of nuclear weapons and the importance of the peace is therefore a matter of passing concern. The citizens of Nagasaki pray that this miserable experience will never be repeated on Earth. We also consider it our duty to ensure that the experience is not forgotten but passed on intact to future generations. It is imperative that we join hands with all peace-loving people around the world and strive together for the realization of lasting world peace.

The museum is factual, providing technical explanations and given the horrors of what happened, it is generally quite restrained in showcasing those. When you absorb the information and visuals, every sane person must wonder how it can be that normal people like us came to act this way. So much human suffering. So much damage. And then questions like, why was this needed, especially a second one, with hardly any warning. Were the makers of these tools of destruction in love with their own project? Did the massive investments behind it cry for the use of it. What lessons can we still learn and apply in today's world? The irony is that of all places in Japan, here in Nagasaki the bond with the West had been particularly strong. Not only had there been a terrific relationship with the Dutch (recommended: visit to Dejima), Nagasaki had also established itself as the cornerstone of Japanese catholicism. And then there were the clouds covering Kokura. Same for the back-up plan. Until at 11:02 on the 9th of August 1945 a hole opened in the clouds above Nagasaki...

I will say they did an excellent job making it informative before and after the bomb, you could see how much the city was flatten and how the fallout caused much damage in the coming years. There was much debate if the drop was necessary as it mentioned Japan was ready to surrender but probably it was at a bad time and place since Russia also declared war about the same time. What I liked about was after the war, there were records of how many times tests were conducted, how human error caused 2 bombs to drop at the same time... Seriously? And how these test sites caused nearby people to evacuate and never to return home and some were not told about the radiation and eventually died. Peace Park is nearby though there is a bit of walk involved. Overall good experience but emotions were ruined as during my stay there, batches upon batches of tourist came and go, squeezing and talking loudly. But I guess they are also paying customers after all :/ limited pictures I'll show but best for you to visit.
