At Bradbury Science Museum, you can witness the history of critical defense and technology research projects important to the United States. You'll be able to view life-size replicas of Little Boy and Fat Man atomic bombs and explore 40 interactive exhibits of the World War II Manhattan Project. Robert Krohn and Norris Bradbury founded the museum in 1953 to preserve and educate the public on the work of Los Alamos National Laboratory. In 1993, the museum was moved to its current location in downtown Los Alamos. Other exhibits include displays of the Mars Science Laboratory rover, supercomputers, and high explosives.

We wanted to visit the Manhattan Project National Historical Park, but apparently, it is closed on Thursdays, so we decided to step in. The museum is free, featuring some very interesting exhibits...

Very interesting and well organized museum covering the history of the World War II Manhattan Project. It also highlights the Laboratory's research projects related to defense and technology. Covering a very important part of American history and the importance of Los Alamos in those crucial days in harnessing nuclear energy. It’s free, so that’s even better. It was also kinda interesting to see where I currently work on display.

Excellent museum. There are only a few places in the world to see history of the Manhattan Project or similar. Regardless of what you think about this aspect of world history, this place exhibits things that will help you refine your thoughts. Some of the exhibits explained things my Manhattan Project professors told me about, 40 years ago.
