Operated by the Nagasaki University School of Medicine, this specialized museum presents a sobering, clinical perspective on the catastrophic toll of the 1945 atomic bombing. Visitors can examine evocative firsthand artifacts—including a clock permanently frozen at 11:02 a.m. and the bloodstained lab coat of a surviving doctor—alongside vital scientific records documenting radiation sickness among the hibakusha. Through authentic medical science and moving historical records, the exhibits deliver an unvarnished testament to the biological realities of nuclear weapons and a powerful plea for lasting peace.
