Panoramic model of the city
A red ball above a panoramic model of the city indicates the spot where the atomic bomb had exploded. The model helps one gain the perspective and understanding of how that one hit was all it took to reduce the city to ashes.

Items left by the deceased
Inside the museum is also an exhibit of the items that belonged to the victims. A watch that had stopped ticking at the exact moment of the bombing and a pair of glasses melted by the heat are just a few examples of such remains vividly portraying the intensity of the event and are items of historical importance that you can view only at this museum.

Drawings by residents
Other items exhibited at the museum include drawings by the victims. While the subject matter is diverse ranging from the portrayal of the city just after the bombing to that of the casualties, people suffering from their wounds, they all share the underlying anger and sadness felt by the residents towards the war.

Message for peace
Near the exit of the museum are displayed messages from public figures who visited the museum. These messages seeking for world peace are handwritten not only by Japanese figures but also by leaders and royalty from all over the world. There is also a notebook in which any visitor can write their own message for peace.
