HIROSHIMA--A special exhibition is being held to showcase images and videos documenting this western city’s destruction from the 1945 U.S. atomic bombing ahead of the 80th anniversary of the event.

Photos were shot by 27 people and one Japanese organization between Aug. 6, 1945, when the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, killing around 140,000 people, and December of the same year.

The imperial couple will visit the city of Hiroshima to commemorate the victims of the 1945 U.S. atomic bombing.
