Atomic Testing Museum

Did you know that atomic bombs were tested in the deserts surrounding Las Vegas? Perhaps the release of Oppenheimer only recently brought it to your attention. But since the mid-aughts, the Atomic Museum has taken visitors through the history of atomic testing in Nevada, from 1951 to the present day. The museum walks guests through the timeline of the bomb’s creation with exhibits and pop culture memorabilia. One thing is for sure: This will be a blast.
