Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the Atomic Bomb
Between Memories and Objects
Monuments, Museums, and Archives

2025.6.21(Sat) — 9.15(Mon)

Bronze statue of Fleet Admiral Kato Tomosaburo, Hijiyama, 1935, pedestal (present day).

This exhibition explores the relationship between memories of war, the atomic bomb, and artistic expression. Through examples of wartime statues, their creators, and statues rebuilt after the war, the exhibition examines how these elements contribute to the formation, forgetting, and reconstruction of memory. It also introduces recent artistic attempts that address these issues by focusing on monuments, museums, and archives—objects and activities involved in memory formation. By considering the past in continuity with the present and approaching historical practices in a dialogical manner, the exhibition seeks to explore new perspectives on memory. In addition, by showcasing the museum’s Hiroshima-related collection, the exhibition aims to create a space for interactive and constructive discussions and reflections on the memory of war as shaped by expressions and institutions, the question of subjectivity, and the possibilities of inheriting the past.

Isamu Noguchi, Model for Memorial to the Dead of Hiroshima (1/5), 1952/1991
