The museum actually allowed photos so you guys can see a glimpse of what they show. There's a section where they showed the clothes they found on dead bodies which were majority of children's school uniforms. The one that probably just made me depressed was diary entries of children who were exposed to the atomic bomb and felt the effects years after it. For example there was a guy who was exposed when he was 1 years old and he continued writing entries on how he kept on feeling weak day by day and he knew he was dying because he was exposed.

Hiroshima Castle |
Hiroshima's A-bomb Dome. The only building that was left untouched after the bombing. Everything was left the same, from the wrecked building to just the small stones around it that was ruined. It hasn't been touched since 1945. Also now a world heritage site. Anyone who was in the Dome on the day of the bombing was instantly killed. A lot of controversy since some people want to get rid of it as it still causes pain from that day...
And of course, everyone knows the story of Sadako Sasaki. The girl who got leukaemia due to the bombing and died after fighting it for ten years. Because of this she believed if she made 1000 paper cranes she would be able to get one wish granted. She didn't get to make it to 1000, but kids around Japan got to do it for her. Depressing.

This still gives me shivers. Watches that was found at the bombing that stopped at 8:15a.m.
