OSLO, Norway -- The horrors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings depicted in photos and paintings will be on display for nearly a year in an exhibit at the Nobel Peace Center, a tribute that coincides with the awarding of this year's Nobel Peace Prize to Japan's largest organization of atomic bomb survivors.

"A Message to Humanity" opens to the public at the museum in Oslo on Wednesday. This follows Tuesday's award ceremony for Nihon Hidankyo, the Japanese group representing those surviving the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
