Hiroshima is a notion, a landmark, an event. Forever linked to that fatal August day.
It seems to be a rational account of what happened, with facts and figures, all perfectly displayed as could be expected in a Japanese museum. Then, in some displays, you can see the actual effects of the blast in touchable evidence. A children's bicycle, almost completely melted - what happened to the child? A watch - giving the exact hour of the blast because it stopped running there and then. A stone doorstep, on which you can see the shadow of a man waiting for the bank to which the doorstep belonged, to be opened. That's right, the man literally evaporated in the intense heat, and the extreme light left his shadow on the stone. When you step out of the museum, even in the height of summer it takes time for your chicken skin to disappear.
