    Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims is a commemorative monument in Nagasaki, Japan, situated next to its Atomic Bomb Museum. The Peace Park is nearby. Like its counterpart in Hiroshima, the hall was constructed as a place to remember and pray for those killed by the 1945 atomic bombing, with photos, and memoirs and personal accounts of the event. It also offers information on international co-operation and exchange activities concerning medical treatment for sufferers of nuclear accidents.
  • By Josip Ivka
    This place is definitely worth visiting. Very informative, touching and unique. Even if you have been to the museum in Hiroshima this one is very different and worth a visit. You could spend an entire day in there reading and watching videos.
