Atomic Bomb Museum : Michelin's recommendations The 9 August
1945 was a defining moment in the history of the world. The
exhibition conveys the horror and devastation wrought by the
bomb dropped at 11.02am, and its interminable implications for
future generations, fuelling the debate on whether or not
nuclear weapons should be abolished. The National Peace Memorial
nearby honours the memory of the estimated 70 000 killed by the
American bomb. There were also some 70 000 victims of the
fallout.
