National Museum of Nuclear Science


Our first stop in Albuquerque, N. M. was to visit this interesting museum. No photography allowed inside. They had full scale replica's of the atomic bombs that were used against Japan which led to the end of WW2. We saw a 45 minute video on the history of the production of the bomb. A very interesting curator gave us some interesting insights which occurred during that period of time and some of the problems they faced. He also discussed how they harness the atomic energy to produce our electricity.
