Las Vegas
Atomic Testing Museum
The Atomic Testing Museum museum in
Las Vegas, Nevada, documents the history of
nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) in the desert north of Las Vegas. The museum
opened in March 2005.
The museum covers the period from the first test at NTS on January 27, 1951 to the
present. Among its exhibits covering American nuclear history is a "Ground Zero
Theater" which simulates the experience of observing an atmospheric nuclear
test.
The museum is operated by the Nevada Test Site Historical Foundation, a
501(c)(3) non-profit organisation, in association with the Smithsonian
Institute.
