Offerings from the Atomic Museum

You may or may not know that Albuquerque, New Mexico is home to the Atomic Museum, a Smithsonian affiliate. They are in the process of renaming themselves the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History because I guess that is easier to promote. Yet despite the face lift, the following items are available from their gift shop:

Tee shirts commemorating the first A-bomb explosion, Trinity (Revelations, anyone?)


A set of five bomb blue prints including Fat Man and Little Boy


A variety of DVDs about the history of the bomb and bomb testing sites narrated by William Shatner (click here to listen to Shatner's latest venture, including his collaborative piece with Henry Rollins).

And inexplicably, under the category "Fun Stuff," with the description

Let your imagination run wild! You or someone you know (perhaps the child in you?) may love optical tricks, magnetics, glow-in-the-dark toys, mobiles, robots, or other intriguing items. Check out these selections that will keep you playing. Whether you're shopping for a child or for someone who has almost everything, you'll want to keep these for yourself!

there is a category for posters: "Decorate your bedroom, classroom, dorm room, or office with these neat and unusual posters!"

with items including a poster of the Nagasaki bombing

"Neat," huh?
