What other travelers are saying about Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum
Helps you understand the effects of atomic bomb. Although not as comprehensive as the one in Hiroshima but its still a good display. Nearby also are the hypocentre worth visiting. Entry is 200¥ and you can purchase on the spot with little queue
Walking through ( can hire English portable tour guide with ear phones ) it’s hard not to tear up looking at the distraction caused by the Atomic Bomb dropped by the Americans on Nagasaki and reading and listening to the survivor stories. It’s the most moving place in the world where you start really believe in world peace 🙏
The museum is profoundly moving and tranquil place that offers a deep reflection on the events of August 9, 1945. It is designed to educate visitors about the devastating impact of the atomic bomb and to promote a message of peace.
One of the best museums in Japan. At least there’s English explanations.
This place holds historical objects that are witnesses of the tragic atomic bombing in the tragic city of Nagasaki. There are also photos and videos of facts from that time. Being here really make me feels the deep sadness of innocent people who have become victims of war. I hope more people support the peaceful program
Lovely museum
There's a free section just to the side, the hall of remembrance which was beautiful to walk around in. Great brutalism architecture to enjoy while contemplating things
I prefer this museum to the one in Hiroshima, less of a focus on the history of the tragic events of the past and a more positive narrative on what can be done so this won't happen again.
I've also read lost if bad / negative reviews calling out the museum for not giving a full picture of the leadup to the atomic bombings, while valid, doesn't't justify what happened or what this museum is aiming to do
The museum is about contemplating the events, not victim blaming or pointing fingers. I feel like it successfully portrayed that on both fronts
Highly recommend if your in Nagasaki
