National Atomic Testing Museum, Military museum in Las Vegas, United States.

The National Atomic Testing Museum presents an extensive collection of nuclear testing equipment, scientific instruments, and radiation measurement devices from the Nevada Test Site.

In 2005, this museum opened its doors to document the atomic testing activities conducted at the Nevada Test Site, located 65 miles from Las Vegas.

The Ground Zero Theater allows visitors to experience the sensations of an atmospheric nuclear test through realistic simulations and special effects.
