The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is congressionally chartered to represent all aspects of nuclear history and science. It traces the story from early conception and the Manhattan Project through the Cold War to contemporary peaceful uses of nuclear technology. The museum aims to engage visitors by offering insights into nuclear energy, nuclear medicine, and related topics, while inviting reflection and personal conclusions about the subject. Its nine-acre outdoor exhibit area displays a B-29 Superfortress along with other aircraft, missiles, military vehicles, and a nuclear submarine sail, illustrating the link between nuclear science and national defense. In 2026, the museum added the Bell 412 HP Helicopter, associated with the Department of Energy’s Nuclear Emergency Support Team, expanding its aviation and history exhibitions.
