Atomic Landscape of the Day: Yesterday marked the 66th anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki, which took place three days after the deadlier strike against the coastal city of Hiroshima.

360 Cities used images culled from Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum’s photo collection to create a number of 360-degree panoramas of the city’s devastated landscape in the aftermath of the world’s first atomic bombing.

When people ask what a Public Historian could do for a living in life, projects like this serve as an example.
Side note- these 360-degree views will stop you in your tracks. It makes it a lot easier, I think, to grasp the devastation from the bombing of Japan in a way that people from other generations couldn’t really see before.
