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 toys of the Atomic Age reflect the times and culture of their day. The Atomic Age was born with the Manhattan Project and blasted into the public’s consciousness in 1945. Almost as soon as the public became aware of the existence of the bomb, all things “atomic” became marketable. Our special exhibit, At Play in the Atomic Age, features over one hundred artifacts from the permanent collection of the Nuclear Museum and artifacts acquired on loan specifically for this exhibition. Come join us for this fascinating look at the toys, books, games, and music of the Atomic Age.
Journey into a world where technology meets environmental stewardship. The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) exhibit, was recently renovated to educate visitors on revolutionary waste management practices to ensure the safest disposal solutions to man-made radioactive materials.
