August 1, 2025-October 31, 2025
Location: Bridge Gallery

"Shadows of the Future: The Impact of Nuclear Weapons on Children" is a powerful reminder of the profound human cost of nuclear weapons. By focusing on the experiences of children in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and the Marshall Islands, the exhibit underscores the lasting physical, psychological, and generational trauma caused by nuclear warfare and testing. It challenges visitors to reflect on the responsibility we all share to protect future generations from such devastating threats and work toward a world where children can grow up in peace, free from the shadow of nuclear weapons. Learn more
