G7 Hiroshima Summit Commemorative Gallery
The G7 Hiroshima Summit was held in Hiroshima, a city that recovered from the destruction of the atomic bombing. The Summit came at a time when an increasingly tense situation in Ukraine brought heightened concerns over nuclear weapon use, and fear that this may pose a threat to the survival of all mankind spread across the globe.
Held over the course of three days from May 19 to 21, 2023, this was the first G7 Summit to be held in an atomic-bombed city. World leaders gathered in Hiroshima and engaged in earnest dialogue. They learned the realities of the atomic bombing in Peace Memorial Park and left powerful messages of peace. The Summit was also an opportunity to show the world the beauty and charms of Hiroshima. Examples include the G7 leaders’ visit to Miyajima, and the exhibitions and hands-on events held at the International Media Center (IMC) where both domestic and international members of the press were headquartered. Young people also played active roles in many Summit-related events, serving as student volunteers and more.
This Commemorative Gallery hopes to provide visitors the opportunity to reflect on the G7 Hiroshima Summit. Here, you will find exhibits such as the Peace Memorial Museum guestbook signed by G7 leaders, the actual roundtable and chairs used during the Summit, and much more. The gallery also features information about the leaders’ programs, partners’ programs, and the IMC, as well as the roles that young people —future world leaders— played.
Visitors are greeted by a large photo panel of the G7 leaders and the G7 Hiroshima Summit logo panel.
