About the renovation of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum

 To pursue the “Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum Renovation Project,” which was set up with the aim of facilitating its function to communicate to the visitors the reality of the atomic bombing, the museum developed the “Basic Plan for the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum Display” in 2010. Being instructed and advised by the special committee for the museum display, the Basic Display Design (2011) and Material Display Design (2012) were decided, and the museum has engaged in the renovation project.

Following the reopening of the East Building on April 26, 2017, the Main Building reopened on April 25, 2019, and the museum’s renovation project has completed.
