The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum contains artefacts that have been donated by victims families and survivors relating to the event of 6th August 1945. In total there are over 120 timepieces held in the vaulted archives.
Only a small selection of timepieces are on display as the sheer volume prevents the full collection being visible at any one time. The museum has a digital archive, and the items can be viewed online. A detailed explanation of the artefact is given with details of how the watch came into the museum's possession.
