Bradbury Science Museum

1350 Central Ave, Los Alamos, NM 87544, USA

Just like an episode of the X- Files, you can’t actually visit the Los Alamos National Laboratory (shhhh, The Truth is Out There). However, the next best thing is the Bradbury Science Museum, a great spot for history and science buffs interested in Los Alamos and the Manhattan Project - which produced the atomic bomb. There’s ample display of declassified experiments from the laboratory, artifacts and documents from the World War II along with life-size replicas of “Fat Man” and :Little Boy: the atomic bombs dropped on Japan.
