An empty B61 multipurpose thermonuclear tactical bomb is displayed at the Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas. A hold on funding to refurbish the B61-12 may cause a delay in delivering the bomb to the Air Force by 2017.

Many see federal money for museums as pork-barrel excess in a time of record deficits -- one congressman says it's like making charitable donations. Supporters say the money is more needed than ever. To New York officials, the $3 million in federal economic stimulus funds they received to transform an old canal boat into a 259-foot-long floating museum was money well spent.

Debbie says: Thursday was the 64th anniversary of the United States’ atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima, Japan. Tomorrow is the 64th anniversary of the United States’ atomic bomb attack on Nagasaki, Japan. Sixty-four years later, these remain the only two times that nuclear weapons have been used in warfare.

I spent more time doing stuff rather than taking pictures while in Vegas. One of the places I visited was The Atomic Testing Museum . No pictures were allowed inside, and the outside is unimpressive, so no snaps there. Fun place, well designed exhibitions, and definitely pro-nuclear weaponry. None of this namby pamby 99 Luftballons crap. Our arsenal saved (and continues to save) the world from certain...

Yesterday I spent an enjoyable three hours at the Atomic Testing Museum here in Las Vegas, NV. It is an affiliate of the Smithsonion Institute. It does a great job of telling the story of atomic bomb testing. The only disappointment is that they do not allow cameras, hence I have no pictures to show you expect that of Miss Atomic Bomb of 1957. Atomic Bomb testing was moved to Nevada in 1951. Click...

I’m not the partying type, so I let Evan and David take care of the ’schmoozing’ part of CES. But when a party is thrown at the Las Vegas Atomic Testing Museum, how can I not attend? The museum was opened in March of 2005 and documents the history of the atomic bomb tests at the Nevada Test Site starting in January of 1951. They’ve got some great artifacts in their collection,...

Th’ Gaussling took a quick trip to the Atomic Testing Museum this week. It is located on Flamingo Rd a few blocks east of the Las Vegas strip. Before entering I was dubious, wrongly thinking that it would be a thin gruel of well worn nuke photos and a few trinkets. I was wrong. The museum is meant [...]
