Bradbury Science Museum

The Bradbury Science Museum is a technology museum in Los Alamos featuring hands-on exhibits about scientific research and innovation. The gallery spaces present topics spanning supercomputing, space exploration, and applications in nanotechnology.

The museum was founded in 1953 and named after Norris E. Bradbury, a key scientific director of the research facility. It was established after the release of declassified information about the laboratory's work and documents the development of its scientific programs.

The museum shows how scientific research and national security shaped modern technology and society. The exhibits reveal the connection between laboratory discoveries and innovations that people use today.

The museum is centrally located in Los Alamos and easy to reach, with free admission for all visitors. The exhibits are well-marked and allow visitors to move through the galleries at their own pace.

The museum displays full-scale models of historical nuclear weapons that show how these technologies developed. These objects offer a direct connection to the scientific work accomplished at the facility.
