This museum should not be missed and is worth more than the 50 Yen entrance fee. Forget about the English audio guide (300 Yen) as all the exhibits have sufficient English translation. The museum covers a range of topics, ranging from a brief history of Japan's involvement in WW2, the bombing of Hiroshima, nuclear arms development, victims of the atomic... More

Let's discover what the Bomb is... it's worth the visit and inexpensive (50 Yen) More

I don't think anyone would come to Hiroshima without the knowledge of why this city is so well known, so therefore visiting the museum which goes over things in great detail is a must.
