A world awaits on the history of the Manhattan Project

Enter a world of the past.

It begins by entering our history gallery.

Here you can explore a timeline that follows the entire history of the Manhattan Project.

Spend some time watching videos, explore the history, and examine Manhattan Project artifacts.

Use the interactive display to learn about the people whose wide-ranging contributions led to the Manhattan Project's success.

Near the center of our lobby, you can virtually visit three of the locations that will eventually become part of the Manhattan Project National Historical Park.

There you can submerse yourself in three widescreen videos, explore various aspects of equipment (and in some cases even smells) to learn more about what the Lab was like during World War II.

While exploring these areas, use your "secret pass" to glean even more information.

As if that wasn't enough, there's a new Manhattan Project history video.

A new 15-minute video, called Racing Toward Dawn, covers the Manhattan Project, highlighting the Lab's role as Project Y. The video focuses on the scientific and technological challenges and breakthroughs at Project Y that led to successful development of atomic weapons and set the legacy for the Lab today.

If you want to see a full-size replica of Fat Man, we've got one of those, too!

All this and more awaits you on a visit to the Museum. We're looking forward to seeing you here.
