Atomic Testing Museum



The Atomic Testing Museum, made with the help of the Smithsonian, is all things nuclear pertaining to Nevada. Amazing footage and artifacts from the 1950s on. $10 to get in and a pretty interesting gift shop.

The tone is also interesting, there are lots of viewpoints, from, "Man, we are lucky to be such a powerful country," to, "Those dicks told me it was safe." Either way, I'm guessing this museum is one-of-a-kind. Only a year old. You can have a fun 90 minutes there or an intense, educational 3 hours with all the artifacts and information.
