The English language brochure from the Atomic Bomb Museum. A lovely, domed structure built partly into a hillside, the museum is well-curated, solemn, and deeply moving -- but also unexpectedly hopeful. It has a great English-language audio guide.

Rather than be endlessly angry -- which they had every right to be -- the people of Nagasaki rebuilt and dedicated themselves to being the last city every to be destroyed by an atomic weapon.

The museum is remarkably balanced. Nobody gets off easy. Certainly not the United States (for obvious reasons) -- but neither does Japan. There's an exhibit at the end about "Japan's 15 Years of War," which points out that Japan was effectively at war for 11 years with mainland Asia, bent on expanding its territory, before it entered a pact of convenience with Germany and attacked Pearl Harbor.

But the centerpiece of the museum is the horrible destruction wrought by the bomb -- from the blast and its intense heat, killing 75,000 people; from the raging fires that followed; and from the radioactive fallout that killed another 75,000 people over agonizing decades.

We didn't take many pictures of the inside -- not because it was forbidden, but because it didn't feel right.

Atomic Bomb Dome by Hernan Linetzky Mc Manus

The A-Bomb Dome, also known as the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, is what remains of the former Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall. The building served as a location to promote Hiroshima's industries. When the bomb exploded, it was one of the few buildings to remain standing, and remains so today. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the A-Bomb Dome is a tangible link to Hiroshima's unique past.
