Nanjing Massacre Museum (南京大屠杀纪念馆) is called the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders officially. It was built up in 1985 by Nanjing Government in memory of the 300,000 victims who lost their lives during the Nanjing Massacre. The architecture, sculptures, and videos in the museum enterprise the overwhelming atrocities of raping, killing, burning and looting committed by the Japanese forces of aggression during the six weeks from December 13 to January, 1938.
Covering an area of 28,000 square meters, the memorial consists of three major parts: outdoor exhibits, sheltered skeletal remains of victims, and the exhibition hall of historical document. On the large wall of the outdoor exhibit, the engraved words “300,000 Victims” is written in Chinese, English and Japanese. The memorial walkway displays the footprints of the remains in the massacre.
Some of the bones excavated from the Wanrenkeng (pit of ten thousand corpses) and the name list of some victims are on display in the Skeletal remains of victims. The Exhibition Hall houses photos, documents, on-the-spot records, Japanese soldiers' diaries, and testimonies of over 1,000 survivals to demonstrate to visitors the crime committed by the Japanese military.
