Train or bus from Hakata station to Nagasaki. If you get off at Urukami, you will be just a little north of the museum, not far at all to walk. If you get off at the Central Nagasaki Station, get on the electric tram and go just a few stops north to the Museum. In either case, the museum will be a couple of blocks plus one block uphill (toward the near mountain) from the stop, as the tram line runs one street over from the Peace Park. The museum is a big red brick cube up on the hill.
