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.
Nuclear Science Week is an international, broadly observed week-long celebration to focus local, regional and international interest on all aspects of nuclear science. Founded by the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History in 2009, Nuclear Science week takes place every year on the third week in October, and it explores what it means to “Think Clean. Think Solutions. Think Nuclear.” We do this by educating the public on 5 pillars of nuclear science: Carbon-Free Energy, Global Leadership, Transformative Healthcare, Innovation & Technology, and Space Exploration.
Open daily from 9 am to 5 pm.
The museum will close early on Christmas Eve (3 pm) and will be closed on Christmas Day. The museum will close early on New Year's Eve (3 pm) and will be closed on New Year's Day.
Closed on New Year’s Day, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
