Hiroshima, Hiroshima / ひろしま美術館
Hiroshima Museum of Art
Opened on November 3, 1978 by Hiroshima Bank to mark its centenary, under the theme "For love and peace of mind", as a place of joy and calm for a city rebuilt after the atomic bombing; it carries prayers for the victims and wishes for peace. The round, domed main gallery is modeled on the Atomic Bomb Dome, and the surrounding corridor on the corridors of Itsukushima Shrine. Van Gogh's "Daubigny's Garden" is one of its best-known works.
