Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum ( ??????? , Nagasaki Genbaku Shiry? ) is in Nagasaki city, Japan. This museum is the memories of the Nagasaki atomic bomb by the United States of August 9, 1945 at 11:02:35. Next to the museum is the Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for Atomic Bomb Victims, built in 2003. The bombing marks a new era in war, making Nagasaki a symbolic location for warning. Partners in Hiroshima are the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. These locations symbolize nuclear age, reminding visitors of the widespread destruction and indiscriminate deaths caused by nuclear weapons, and signaling a commitment to peace.
Nagasaki Museum was completed in April 1996, replacing the worsening International Culture Hall. The museum covers the history of the show as a story, focusing on the attacks and the history that leads to it. It also covers the history of the development of nuclear weapons. The museum displays photos, relics, and documents related to the bombings.

History included in the museum
Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum includes the history of Nagasaki bombing, Japan. It depicts scenes of WWII, dropping atom bombs, reconstruction of Nagasaki, and today. In addition, this museum exhibits the history of developing nuclear weapons.
The atomic bomb was developed by scientists working under the Manhattan Project. The project was awarded funding on December 6, 1941, with American leaders aiming for a new discovery that would serve as a weapon of war. The decision to drop atom bombs in Japan was made in 1943, and a short list of candidate target cities existed in 1945. At the time, it was said that atomic bombardments would bring a faster end to war. Hiroshima, the first target, was chosen to show the strength of America's new weapon. The second bombing, Nagasaki, is meant to show that the US has a huge arsenal. At 11:02 AM A.M. On August 9, 1945, the atomic bomb, nicknamed Fat Man after Winston Churchill, was dropped on Nagasaki, forever changing the city landscape. The mushroom cloud rises to a height of 45,000 feet above the city.
Inside the museum is the history of the city before the bombs dropped. The blast hypothenter was the Urakami district, which is a traditional and remote suburb. However, the population jumped after 1920 when the district was chosen as a place for ammunition factories. Industrial zones are quickly created. In addition, Urakami district is home to Nagasaki Medical College. When the bomb dropped at 11:02 A.M. on August 9, 1945, 20 environments within a one-kilometer radius of the hypocenter were completely destroyed by the exploding heat and wind blast generated by the explosion. They then become ashes by a fire that ensues. In a 2 km radius of hypocenter, about 80% of houses collapsed and burned. When the smoke is clear, the area is full of corpses.
The reconstruction of the city is slow. It was not until the second half of 1946 that the first emergency shelter was provided to the community. The need for a building goes far beyond its availability. By the end of 1950, applications for company residence exceeded ninety-fold availability. The Japanese national government created a reconstruction plan for a war disaster in November 1945 projecting a city concept that would leave the old war industry and focus on the revival of foreign trade, shipbuilding and the fishing industry. Today, the city is considered a city of peace and has promised to a world peace mission.
Inside Museum
Nagasaki residents consider it their duty to make sure the horrors they suffer from atomic bombs never recur. Therefore, the museum is designed in such a way that the audience can see what the effects of bombs on the city, the reconstruction, and the enduring effects of the atomic bomb. The museum opened with a room dedicated to the city as before the bomb destroyed Nagasaki. The clock that stopped at 11:02, the right time, the bomb hit the city, was also on display to demonstrate how so many people were killed in an instant.
In the next section, visitors enter the room showing Nagasaki shortly after the bombing. Included in this room is a furrowed water tank located in Keiho Middle School, about 800m away from the bombing hypocenter. The "Events leading to the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb" isolate historical events from contemporary bias. The permanent exhibition hall features large materials exposed to the explosion, as well as a replica of the Urakami Cathedral wall that was hit by a bomb.
The goal is to reproduce the city's existing state immediately after the bombing. Photos and facts are displayed beside the artifacts left by the deceased. In addition, the second part contains some of the rosary found inside Urakami Cathedral. At the time of the bombing, dozens of people were inside the Cathedral for recognition. This section also shows an event schedule that shows a series of events that occurred before the bomb was dropped in Nagasaki. Leaflets thrown by American troops in Japan during the early part of 1945 were on display. One gives information about the bombing of Hiroshima and atomic bomb strength, warning residents to leave town and stop fighting. Also included was a bottle of melt, the bones of a human hand were attached to a melted glass clump, a burning garment, a lunch box with its contents still burned in it, and a helmet with the remains of a victim's skull on the inner surface. Part B shows the damage caused by radiation, damage caused by the explosion, the call of the atomic bomb victims, and the rescue and relief activities undertaken.
After seeing the sights of the city, museum visitors are invited to think about issues related to war and nuclear non-proliferation. Part of the museum contains political sections titled "The Road to Atomic Bombing" and "The War between China and Japan and the Pacific War". That's where the experience of militarism in Japan and the demands of war are juxtaposed with arguments to end nuclear weapons. Visitors are presented with facts about modern nuclear weapons along with facts relating to atomic bomb victims. This is a call for peace and the end of nuclear age.
The last room in the museum contains videos and documents related to the Nagasaki bombing. Visitors can also find answers to their questions and documents like the Nagasaki Peace Declaration.
Exhibition Maintenance
The museum exhibits objects that are exposed to radiation from atomic bombs. Although some materials have double casing, display techniques are generally not adapted in any special way for preservation of these materials.
Criticism
When the museum opened in 1966, there was criticism of the reinterpretation of Japanese history. In addition, the museum is considered very political, because it only presents one side of the story and does not promote the concept of peace.
