Best Museum: Atomic Testing Museum

Remember your roots! We’re smack-dab in the middle of nuclear history here, sitting adjacent to the Test Site and always seeming this close to Armageddon. Have a little wine and cheese and listen to experts discuss the history of the nuclear age at the Atomic Testing Museum on Tuesday.

Tuesday, January 12, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Panelists include George Mason University professor Dr. Martin Sherwin, author of A World Destroyed: Hiroshima and Its Legacies and American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer; Sacramento City College chemist Dr. Ruth Lewin Sime, author of Lise Meitner: A Life in Physics; and Dr. Mary Palevsky, a visiting scholar in UNLV’s Department of History from 2003-2008, who directed the Nevada Test Site Oral History Project.
