FUKUSHIMA The museum dedicated to the powerful earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster of 2011 that wreaked havoc on the Tohoku region is adding exhibits to balance out its portrayal of the calamity.
The Fukushima prefectural government made the announcement on March 2, in the lead-up to the 10th anniversary on March 11.
Some 30 items will be added in succession, from March 3 until the end of this month. The additions come in response to growing calls for more balanced, fuller descriptions of the disaster and its aftermath at the Great East Japan Earthquake and Nuclear Disaster Memorial Museum.
