人類史上初めて使用された核兵器の惨禍を伝える建造物（旧広島県産業奨励館）。時代を超えて核兵器の究極的廃絶と世界の恒久平和の大切さを訴え続ける人類共通の平和記念碑といえる。（ユネスコ）
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome) was the only structure left standing in the area where the first atomic bomb exploded on 6 August 1945. Through the efforts of many people, including those of the city of Hiroshima, it has been preserved in the same state as immediately after the bombing. Not only is it a stark and powerful symbol of the most destructive force ever created by humankind; it also expresses the hope for world peace and the ultimate elimination of all nuclear weapons.
