In August 1945 atomic bombs instantaneously reduced the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to ruin. By the end of that year they had taken over 200,000 lives with survivors suffering devastating aftereffects of radiation.
In the 80th year since the bombing, the University of Stirling is hosting an exhibition from the Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims.
Remembered aims to facilitate visitors to understand what happened in Nagasaki and Hiroshima as a result of the atomic bombings and to join the Peace Hall in working towards a genuine lasting peace in a nuclear free world.
The exhibition is free to visit and open to the public. There is also a wide range of talks and tour to complement the exhibition.
Location: Campus Central Level 3, University of Stirling
