The exhibition provides a moving insight into the destruction caused by the bombs dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Through photographs and testimonies from the survivors, the audience gains an understanding of the Peace Prize winner's message: Nuclear weapons must never be used again!

The renowned French Magnum photographer Antoine d’Agata has portrayed the survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, who are called hibakusha in Japanese. He has captured the determined gazes of these elderly individuals, and the images stand in stark contrast to archival photos of the destruction from 1945. For this year's exhibition, the Nobel Peace Center has also collaborated with the world-famous Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, who has created a special installation with 1000 cedarwood objects from Hiroshima. Each object represents a hibakusha. The audience can pick up the figures, listen to their stories, and reflect on the ongoing struggle for a nuclear weapon-free world.
