No, no. This museum failed to mention the millions of people killed by the Japanese Imperial army at all and blamed the war entirely on Western involvement in Japan. It even claims that Japanese troops were welcomed in Nanking. Famously, the rest of the world calls it something very different.
Seriously, just read the linked article. This isn't a memorial to the victims of war. It glorifies atrocities and rewrites history.
I was not answering about the article but your answer that consider showing an A6M at the entrance of a museum something bad. It's not bad, this plane existed, it's History.
Sure, it existed. But context is necessary to understand its significance. If the context is missing or twisting accepted historic events I would say it is a bad thing.
