You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum''' is a [[museum]] located in [[Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park]], in central [[Hiroshima]], Japan, dedicated to documenting the [[Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki|atomic bombing of Hiroshima]] in [[World War II]].

The museum was established in August 1955 with the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Hall (now the ((ill2|International Conference Center Hiroshima|ja|広島国際会議場))). It is the most popular of Hiroshima's destinations for school field-trips from all over Japan and for international visitors. 53 million people had visited the museum from its opening in 1955 through 2005, averaging over one million visitors per year. The architect of the main building was [[Kenzō Tange]].

==Museum content==

According to the introduction in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum's English guide: 
<blockquote>"The Peace Memorial Museum collects and displays belongings left by the victims, photos, and other materials that convey the horror of that event, supplemented by exhibits that describe Hiroshima before and after the bombings and others that present the current status of the nuclear age. Each of the items displayed embodies the grief, anger, or pain of real people. Having now recovered from the A-bomb calamity, Hiroshima's deepest wish is the elimination of all nuclear weapons and the realization of a genuinely peaceful international community."<ref>From “Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum” brochure, (Nakajima-chō: Hiroshima prefecture) visited October 29, 2005</ref></blockquote>

To facilitate education, the museum was renovated in 1994 and was now divided into two sections.

The East Wing—the newest addition—explained the history of Hiroshima City before the bomb, development and decision to drop the bomb, the lives of Hiroshima citizens during World War II and after the bombing, and ended with information about the nuclear age and efforts for international peace. Included in this section was a model showing the damage done to the city. It had some important letters exchanged between scientists and top leaders of that era talking about atomic development and predicted result of its use.

The West Wing, which was part of the old museum, concentrated on the damage of the bomb.  Sections included ''Material Witness'', which showed clothing, watches, hair, and other personal effects worn by victims of the bomb; ''Damage by the Heat Rays'', a section that looked at what happened to wood, stone, metal, glass, and flesh from the heat; ''Damage by the Blast'', focusing on the destruction caused by the after shocks of the blast, and ''Damage by the Radiation'' which went into detail about the health effects suffered by humans.

The museum began major renovations in 2014. The East Wing reopened in April 2017, featuring more interactive displays and replacing the model of the city with a new version that uses [[projection mapping]] to demonstrate the effects of the bomb blast.<ref>((cite web |last1=Walsh |first1=Paul |title=Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum |url=http://gethiroshima.com/museums-attractions/peace-memorial-museum/ |website=GetHiroshima |access-date=26 April 2019 |date=10 September 2010))</ref> When the East Wing reopened, the Main Hall was closed for [[seismic retrofit]]ting until 25 April 2019.<ref>((cite news |title=Renovated Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum to open- News - NHK WORLD - English |url=https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20190424_31/ |access-date=26 April 2019 |work=NHK WORLD |language=en))</ref> The exhibits were also renovated during this time to focus more on victim's belongings, and are now divided into four sections: an introductory exhibit in the East Wing, "Reality of the Atomic Bombing" and a gallery in the Main Building, "Dangers of Nuclear Weapons" in the East Wing, and "Hiroshima History" in the East Wing.<ref>((cite web |title=Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum ((!))
