Bradbury Science Museum, Los Alamos

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.

Was here to visit the national park visitors center, but was suggested to come here as well. Tons of hands on activities for the kids, interactive exhibits, updated science and everything was in great shape and new. Best of all, price was FREE. Don't miss this, my kids spent at least an hour on all the activities.

Really was a must see. Excellent exhibits and films. Learned much. Too bad its got a super huge parking lot and is presenting a very green washed and politicized view of what they do. Obviously very well funded (I'd say overfunded). The burrito smells from the lunchroom were overpowering.

The history section is fantastic and quite thorough, except for the fact that it (and the 15-minute film) utterly gloss over the destruction that nuclear weapons have wrought. Literally five seconds of photos of post-bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki, followed by talking about how the war was won, everyone was happy, the end. Seriously? Guys... come on. It's 2022. Let's acknowledge the death and destruction we wrought with this technology. It's just as important as the tech advancements and achievements.
