There is a need to educate people about the differences between a conventional bomb and a nuclear bomb, and about the costs and impact of nuclear tests. Toward this end, the Indian Institute for Peace, Disarmament & Environmental Protection (IIPDEP) established the No More Hiroshima: No More Nagasaki: Peace Museum on 6 August 1996 in Nagpur, India. The museum opened in a large hall in the city’s commercial district. Their aims are to raise public awareness and put pressure on the government to make the world a better place to live.

The museum provides public education and awareness towards peace and disarmament, especially about nuclear weapons. Along with information on the Holocaust, the permanent exhibition shows photos of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as well as images of India’s nuclear test site in Pokharan. The photo panels were donated by the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum and an association of A-bomb survivors in Japan.

A travelling exhibition on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, offered by the IIPDEP, is included in our exhibitions section.
