If you’ve got Fallout fever ahead of the show’s second season, Las Vegas has a museum exhibit you’re going to love.
Beginning November 14 and lasting through 2026, the city’s National Atomic Testing Museum will have a limited-time “World of Fallout” exhibition backed by franchise owner Bethesda. The exhibition will explore the cultural legacy of atomic history as it relates to the video game franchise and will feature “carefully selected objects and interpretive displays.” That includes “screen-worn Vault suits and memorabilia alongside graphic panels that explore the recurring elements of the franchise, along with the key Cold War themes that influenced the world and its lore.”
Joseph Kent, the curator and chief community officer for the museum, called this “a chance for gamers and history buffs alike to see just how closely the two worlds connect.”
The year 2025 is significant for Fallout: along with the show, it marks the respective 15- and 10-year anniversaries of Obsidian’s Fallout: New Vegas (released October 19, 2010) and Bethesda’s Fallout 4 (November 10, 2015). On Thursday, October 23, Bethesda is holding a livestream celebrating the franchise, which may potentially contain a look at Fallout 76’s next big update that’ll bring over Walton Goggins’ Ghoul from the show into the game. It may also have a new look at the Prime Video series before its return on December 17.
