The National Museum of Nuclear Science and History is the place to find out everything there is to know about the Atomic Age, from the early research that led to the development of the atomic bomb to what’s going on today in nuclear research and development. Here you'll learn about nuclear pioneer Madame Curie, view 1950s Cold War-era kitsch, and stroll among vintage planes and missiles. The museum's many interactive exhibits make this a fun trip, even for those who aren’t particularly science-minded. It's a large space, so plan to allow yourself two to three hours to cover the whole thing. The National Museum of Nuclear Science and History is open daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
