The National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas has partnered with video game company Bethesda Softworks on an official Fallout exhibition.
Opening on 14 November, World of Fallout will showcase objects associated with the game and TV series, highlighting their connections to real-world nuclear history.
Guests will also discover how atomic culture has inspired art and entertainment, viewing items such as screen-worn Vault suits and graphic panels that explore the recurring elements of the Fallout brand.
Via a press release, the exhibition is an example of the National Atomic Testing Museum's "ongoing commitment to present nuclear history through new lenses".
"By situating gaming lore within the broader context of science and culture, the exhibit is designed to engage both longtime Fallout fans and museum visitors," the release added.
Beyond the exhibition, the Fallout theme will feature across the National Atomic Testing Museum, including Fallout-inspired Easter eggs throughout the main gallery space.

“What makes this exhibit one-of-a-kind is that we’re putting iconic Fallout symbols side by side with the history that inspired them,” said Joseph Kent, chief community officer and curator at the National Atomic Testing Museum.
“It’s a chance for gamers and history buffs alike to see just how closely the two worlds connect.”
First introduced in 1997, Fallout is a franchise of post-apocalyptic role-playing video games. The 2024 Prime Video Fallout TV series was viewed by more than 100 million people worldwide.
