It told about kids' whose hair fell out, their skin hung off their bodies. IT showed the body of one woman whose kimono pattern was burnt into her skin. It was quite disgusting and way too much. I also saw various displays of how the government is trying to cut down the amount of nuclear weapons.

Also on display in the nuclear bomb dome, which is one of the only structures in the city left after the bombing. It was a dome, and was quite chilling.

After that, it witnessed a prayer service from the Korean Church, for a successful summit between North Korea and the US. Then I found a depeartment store, had dinner of pizza, and went back to the hostel.
