LETTER FROM THE FOUNDATION

As we recover and rebuild from the pandemic impact on our communities, the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History has engaged in new ways of reaching our audiences through new programs and initiatives. We are also excited to return to previous ways of interaction, welcoming our guests back into the museum.

The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History continues exciting progress as an institution making nuclear science and history accessible to tens of thousands of visitors. Through our many programs and exhibitions, our growing group of enriching camps and classes, the Nuclear Museum has been very successful in enhancing young people’s knowledge and excitement of STEM. We are excited about our expanding digital content with our partnership with the Atomic Heritage Foundation, which will serve as a valued digital resource for many.

We remain committed to our growth which includes projects such as the “The Jerry L. Adams Museum Artifact Center” and “Peacekeeper Memorial” which we will be constructed soon in Heritage Park. This exciting new addition will enhance our capabilities and capacity as the first large addition project in 15 years.

Nuclear Science Week, started here by our museum in 2009, is now celebrated in six countries worldwide, and was observed for its thirteenth year in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for the National Event observance this past fall. Last March, we held the 24th annual Einstein Gala here at the museum, where we presented the National Award of Nuclear Science and History to Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson, President of Rensselaer University. As always, we had a great Discover STEAM Week and the 25th annual Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage event among many others.

None of these transformative projects would have been possible without your support –from our great volunteers, to the many individuals, companies, and foundations in our community that continue to support us with their time and charitable contributions.

We invite you to visit the museum to explore our exhibits. And if interested, become a member or supporter. We have lofty institutional aspirations, but it is through the spirit of collaboration that we achieve our goals, and your involvement can make this a reality.
