Special exhibitions
In order to convey the tragedy of the atomic bombing to as many people as possible, the Nagasaki Peace Memorial Hall holds special exhibitions on particular themes which employ the eye-witness memoirs in our collection. These are translated into English, Chinese and Korean and put on display for foreign visitors to the hall.
Currently, panels from the exhibition On That Day: Coming Together to Save Lives are on display in the Memoir Exhibition Corner on upper level B1F. This exhibition was originally held in 2025, the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing.
