Since 1995, the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have jointly held the Hiroshima-Nagasaki Atomic Bomb and Peace Exhibition to convey the reality of the atomic bombings and to foster international public opinion toward the abolition of nuclear weapons.
　　The Hiroshima-Nagasaki Atomic Bomb and Peace Exhibition was held in the city of Durham, England, from June 7 to September 10, 2023, immediately after the G7 Hiroshima Summit, and in the city of Belfast, Northern Ireland, from January 8 to February 28, 2024. On display were 20 artifacts, including an armband worn by a junior high school student who was exposed to the atomic bombing while working as a mobilized student, a replica of a burnt-out lunch box, and paper cranes folded by Sadako Sasaki, as well as 30 panels explaining the reality of the atomic bombing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
　　The exhibition in Durham was held at the Oriental Museum at Durham University. During the exhibition period, workshops on origami paper cranes were held, and on August 1, Hiroshima City and Durham City were connected online, with A-bomb survivor Kiyomi Kono giving a testimony of her experience of the atomic bombing. In addition, in September, we dispatched volunteer readers to the area to read A-bomb poems and accounts of the A-bombing.
　　In a survey conducted in Durham, respondents left comments such as "the exhibition was a very timely reminder of the devastation caused by nuclear weapons," "Witnessing the inhumanity inflicted by humans upon their fellow human beings left me utterly appalled," and "All leaders of countries that have or are planning to have nuclear weapons should visit this exhibition."
