It’s been over seventy years since President Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered his “Atoms For Peace” speech to the United Nations. Three decades later, Americans were still fearing the threat of nuclear devastation. In 2025, we’re hopefully more enlightened about the significance of the atom. A fun new exhibit at ATOMIC MUSEUM will broaden our grasp even further.
Atomic Museum Las Vegas.
Museum-style attractions have popped up all over the city, but ATOMIC MUSEUM is one of the first. The rich history of nuclear testing near Las Vegas makes its location in Sin City all the more fascinating. Previously known as the “National Atomic Testing Museum”, the facility was renamed in 2022 to reflect its larger appeal.
Ever wonder what it would be like to observe a nuclear detonation from a safe distance? The Earth-shattering Ground Zero Theater simulator puts you there. Vintage machinery and instruments, photos and videos covering atomic tests in the Nevada desert…they’re all included, along with pieces of the Berlin Wall and the World Trade Center.
