Step by Step
This ticket to the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History gives you access to a fascinating educational space that traces the evolution of nuclear energy from the earliest scientific breakthroughs to its use in medicine, civilian energy and military weaponry.
Located in Albuquerque, this museum is the only nuclear-themed museum officially affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution. Its collection includes historical documents, models, simulations and an outdoor area displaying missiles, fighter planes and other real military artefacts linked to 20th century nuclear development.
The museum is structured in different interactive sections, making it perfect for both adults and families with children. You can learn about the Manhattan Project, the arms race during the Cold War, atomic energy and its peaceful uses in medicine or engineering.
In addition, there are rooms dedicated to science education with hands-on experiences, ideal for arousing curiosity about physics and technology. Exhibits change regularly, so there is always something new to see.
The tour is self-guided, so you can wander around the museum at your own pace, reading the information panels, watching videos and exploring both the indoor rooms and the extensive outdoor space.
