The Life Atomic: Growing Up in the Shadow of the A-Bomb
(May 10, 2008 through October 25, 2008)

The Life Atomic will offer a look back at the early atomic age that ranges from the serious to the silly. From posters featuring classic B-movies to a re-creation of a family fallout shelter, this new exhibit will explore the impact of the atomic bomb on everyday life in the 1950s and early 1960s. This project is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services.
