Nanking Massacre Museum Vs Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Museum

I’ve visited the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Museum on the 4th of July 2007 and Nanking Massacre Museum on the 26th of December 2007. This Post is a comparison between these 2 museums. Why? because if there was no Nanking Massacre, there won’t be Atomic Bomb launched at Hiroshima. This post is not about who is right, who to responsible for the lives and pride lost. So don’t go political.

Nanking Massacre Museum was built in 1985 and recently renovated and reopened on the 13th December 2007. I’m very lucky that i can visit this museum. Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Museum was built in 1995. Cameras are not allowed inside the Nanking Museum. There are photos, videos, and a lot of evidences of the Nanking Massacre. There are also videos of surviving victims storytelling which Hiroshima museum has the same thing. There are shelves that kept all the stories about the Victims of Nanking Massacre, it was like 4-5 storeys high of Files.

 This was taken in Hiroshima museum, Nanking has the same thing too. Hiroshima’s has only one demo, but there are many demos in Nanking’s. And trust me, they both look really scary.

 

Around the museums, both have these statues, but Nanking one has more.

 

Flowers for the victims, Nanking more flowers

 

I saw both museums have a peace bell, but Nanking one is much bigger.

 

Now, both of these 2 peace angel statues hold a bird, Nanking one is bigger too!!
