Not a war museum, but a peace museum. This museum follows the history of Hiroshima from before Japan's aggression in WWII, the events that led to the atomic bombing, the aftermath, the rebuilding of Hiroshima and the dedication of the city to peace.

The city of Hiroshima never asked for the fame of being the first city bombed by an atomic weapon, but they have taken that notoriety and focused it on the abolition of all nuclear weapons. Every year a peace declaration is read by the mayor of Hiroshima. This museum is dedicated to the preservation of all of the history of the atomic bombing, with the hope that there will be "No more Hiroshimas".
