The National Atomic Museum has closed its doors in "Old Town" while it moves to a new location in southeast Albuquerque.

While the public will not be able to visit the Museum in the interim weeks before the new Museum re-opens, the Museum Outreach Program will operate continuously through the year.   Classrooms can still request programs in a number of areas, including energy, forces of flight, radiation, and nano science.

The Museum provides students in the Albuquerque region with experiences at their school with the "Up N Atom" mobile van. The van brings programs to schools, community centers, libraries, and other venues.

The programs are similar to those offered at the museum, but make learning activities more affordable for those students whose schools are on a limited budget for field trips. Program descriptions are available at www.atomicmuseum.org.  To book a program, call the Museum at 244-2137.

The new National Museum of Nuclear Science & History will open its doors to the world on April 4, 2009. This "new" museum has served as a national resource through its collections and programming for 40 years; it will remain a Smithsonian affiliate.
