BRADBURY SCIENCE MUSEUM
BRADBURY SCIENCE MUSEUM
Named for the scientist Norris, not the writer Ray, the brand-new Bradbury Science Museum is a highlight of a visit to Los Alamos and a project in which the community takes great pride.
The museum's main focus is an overview of the work taking place at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and exhibits include looks at the history of the Manhattan Project (including the first cases of the atomic bomb), as well as displays of the latest in laser, computer, geothermal, solar, nuclear, and other technologies, from health research to environmental studies.
Historical and Informational films are shown continually. The BSM is open all year except Christmas and New Year's day. From September to May, the BSM is open Saturday through Monday, 1pm to 5pm, and Tuesday through Friday, 9am to 5pm. From May to September, the Museum is open Sunday and Monday 1pm to 5pm, and Tuesday through Saturday 9am to 5pm.
The museum is located downtown Los Alamos, New Mexico at 15th and Central. For more information call (505) 667-4444.
