The nation’s only congressionally chartered museum in its field and an intriguing place to learn the story of the Atomic Age,
from early research of nuclear development through today’s peaceful uses of nuclear technology.
This exhibition focuses on a dense, two-inch charcoal-black cube made of pure uranium metal that Nazi scientists suspended with 663 other similar cubes during World War II in an effort to create the world’s first atomic bomb.
Complete with planes, rockets, missiles, cannons and nuclear sub sail, this wide-open exhibit area will attract plane buffs and historians alike. The museum collection is the largest aircraft collection for public viewing in the state of New Mexico.
We have made the very difficult decision to cancel the beginning half of our "Science is Everywhere" summer camps that run May 26 - July 3. We will continue to watch community restrictions as we phase back into opening to the public, and we will know in the coming weeks what the final part of our summer programming will look like.
