Photo materials have an important meaning to better understand the real aspects of the atomic bombing. Besides a number of photographs that we are already aware of, it is believed that many photos unbeknown to us still exist overseas; there were many foreigners who entered Hiroshima after the atomic bombing.
　The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum has collected photographs and other materials held by various institutions and private individuals overseas by acquiring photographic data and dispatching staff members abroad.
　In this exhibition, we look back on the atomic bomb damage suffered by Hiroshima and the restoration after the atomic bombing, with a focus on photographic materials and witness accounts that we have collected from overseas in recent years.
