The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum in Japan loans a set of 30 posters to help share the realities of the atomic bombings with audiences around the world.
Created by Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, these posters raise awareness about the human cost of nuclear war and serve as a call for peace. This poster exhibition is presented in conjunction with the Hiroshima Nagasaki Corvallis Commemoration, a local effort that has promoted peace and remembrance for over 40 years.
