For those visitors looking to reflect on a more somber period of history and learn about the impact of nuclear warfare, there are no better destinations than the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. With an impressive inventory of salvaged items from the wartime, including a watch that stopped the moment the atomic bomb fell on Hiroshima, the exhibition does well to stress the sheer destructive nature of warfare. Avoiding a hopeless tone, the peace memorial stresses the constructive lessons that can be learnt about peace and cooperation. For anyone looking to find inspiration, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum is a great place to rejuvenate one’s mind and determination to make the world a better place.
