Not worth visiting!

A review of this place: half a century old nails and skin pieces.

The place itself might be interesting since it really provides a detailed description of pre-bombing Hiroshima, and nuclear bomb consequeces both on people, psychologically and phisically, and on places.
Yet I found quite disturbing exposing half a century old nails and skin pieces, names of dead people, their stories.
It was as if the museum had to strike at my deepest disgust to make me understand how tragic the event was.
That’s not the right way to awake people’s coscience, also made me think who built the museum thought visitors wouldn’t be clever enough to understand the tragedy residing within hiroshima bombing convincing them only with logic.
I must confess I felt disappointed, that’s it.
Making death an attraction won’t help us understand the tragedy better and also isn’t very respectful towards those who died that way.

Eh?

They had dead people’s tissue? That is disrespectful. I wonder if they would like it if Nanking China had a memorial of the pieces of Chinese that they hacked up for fun of the bodies of the babies they bayonetted? Or perhaps the clothing of the women they raped? You’re right…it is disappointing…in more ways than you will ever know…(Google “Rape of Nanking.”
