Oak Ridge: Visit the American Museum of Science & Energy

Did you know that Oak Ridge is home to a Smithsonian-affiliated museum on revolutionary science? The American Museum of Science and Energy, originally opened in 1949 when the city first opened to the public, is home to a newly designed exhibit gallery featuring Big Science, National Security, Energy Leadership, The Manhattan Project, Environmental Restoration, and several temporary exhibits. The museum has a retail shop, state-of-the-art classroom facility, and an auditorium with a 150-seat capacity. In addition, guided bus tours of Manhattan Project sites throughout Oak Ridge begin here. For more information including operating hours and admission fees, visit their website.
