The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History is open to the public, allowing up to 75 guests at one time. For more information about the museum's re-opening to the public, please click here.
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.
The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History would like to offer parents and guardians of children in Kindergarten through 7th grade an opportunity to obtain childcare in our new, in-person Extended Care Program. Starting again on Tuesday, January 12, and running through the school year, the museum will accept a limited number of K-7th grade students each day for full-day extended learning programs. These programs run every Tuesday and Thursday, from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm each day, and they will offer a balance between online distance learning with the child's school (we will help with their entire distance learning experience from the comfort of the museum), STEM specific curriculum and activities provided by the museum, and fun physical activities each day.
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.
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.
The Museum will close early at 3:00 pm on both Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.
