Witness the impact. Understand the cost.
In August 1945, two atomic bombs devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki — killing hundreds of thousands of people, destroying the cities, and leaving decades of suffering in their wake.
Eighty years on, this powerful exhibition of images and survivor voices is a stark reminder of the human toll of nuclear war — and a call to ensure it never happens again.
As nuclear threats persist and conflicts rage around the world, the messages shared by Japan’s hibakusha (nuclear survivors) are more important than ever. Their stories remind us of the devastating human cost of nuclear conflict, and the need for continued commitment to peace.
The exhibition includes two short documentaries - A Mother’s Prayer: sharing the heartfelt perspectives of Hiroshima mothers, calling for the abolition of nuclear weapons and Hiroshima Witness: testimonies from survivors, sharing their powerful, lived experiences.
