Fallout is getting an official Bethesda-backed exhibition at the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas, complete with Easter eggs

The world of Fallout is a fictional one, but it deals with some very real and very serious issues, chief among them the threat of nuclear war. Now, the video game series is getting an official exhibit at the most fitting place on earth: the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas.

“Civilization, I'll Stay Here!” is a song written by Danny Kaye and The Andrews Sisters that Fallout fans will be familiar with if they turn on the radio in the wasteland. But now you may be able to visit the museum, with a limited-time exhibition called “fallout world” Opening on November 14, 2025.

The National Atomic Testing Museum said the Bethesda-backed exhibition will explore the cultural legacy of atomic history through the lens of the Fallout series. The installation will include items related to the game and the Amazon TV series it inspired. “This compact and powerful display will highlight the connections between real-world nuclear history and the imaginative storytelling of the video game universe,” the museum said in a press release. What's more, the museum will place Fallout-inspired Easter eggs throughout its main gallery space.

Here is the official synopsis:

The series first launched in 1997, and its rich lore, including the famous Vault, the Vault Boys mascot, and depictions of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, has left a lasting mark on pop culture. The new exhibition will highlight these elements while drawing parallels with mid-20th century nuclear history, offering visitors the opportunity to experience how atomic culture inspired art, entertainment and the collective imagination.

Through carefully selected objects and interpretive displays, the exhibition connects fact and fiction. Highlights include screen-worn Vault sets and memorabilia, as well as graphic panels that explore recurring elements from the Fallout series, as well as key Cold War themes that influenced the world and its lore.

The partnership with Bethesda Softworks underscores the National Atomic Testing Museum's ongoing commitment to presenting nuclear history through new perspectives. The exhibition aims to engage long-time Fallout fans and museum visitors alike by placing the game's lore within a broader scientific and cultural context. It also complements the museum's permanent collection, which documents the scientific, military and social history of the atomic age.

“What makes this exhibition unique is that we place iconic Fallout symbols alongside the history that inspired them,” said Joseph Kent, chief community officer and director of the National Atomic Testing Museum. “For gamers and history buffs, this is an opportunity to see how closely these two worlds are connected.”

“Fallout World” is scheduled to be exhibited at the National Museum of Atomic Testing in 2026. In case you're wondering, the National Atomic Testing Museum is operated and maintained by its parent company, the Nevada Test Site Historical Foundation (NTSHF). It covers nuclear history starting with the first test at the Nevada Test Site on January 27, 1951.
