One of our goals at the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History is to bring an informational, objective history of nuclear science to life – for everyone, everywhere. Please satisfy your curiosity and inspire your imagination by taking a tour of our online museum. Many of the artifacts described here are not found in our physical facility, but are instead provided as a resource.
History
The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History is officially chartered by Congress. The Museum itself is an intriguing place to learn the story of the atomic age, from early research through today’s peaceful uses of nuclear technology. The Museum’s permanent displays and changing special exhibits present history as well as science applications and future development of nuclear energy.
