Sobre este Museum

O Atomic Museum (anteriormente National Atomic Testing Museum) conta a história fundamental do Nevada nos testes de armas nucleares durante a Guerra Fria e explora como a ciência atômica moldou a cultura e a sociedade americana. O museu apresenta artefatos originais, filmes desclassificados do governo e exposições interativas que transportam os visitantes pela Era Atômica, desde os anos 1950 em diante. É ideal para entusiastas da história, amantes da ciência e qualquer pessoa curiosa sobre este capítulo importante, mas frequentemente ignorado, da história dos Estados Unidos.
