The National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas has announced a major expansion of its official Fallout exhibition.
'World of Fallout' opened in November 2025 in partnership with video game company Bethesda Softworks. The show displays objects associated with the game and TV series, highlighting their connections to real-world nuclear history.
Opening on 12 November, the expanded exhibit is titled 'World of Fallout: Prepare for the Future' and includes two new galleries.
These will feature new interactive installations, artefacts and interpretive displays, while the original 'World of Fallout' gallery will be enhanced with new costumes from the TV series.
The first new gallery will immerse visitors in the Vault-Tec Welcome Center, inspired by the visual aesthetic of the video games. Highlights include a full-size, interactive Mr. Handy robot from the Fallout universe.
The second new gallery is themed after a Vault-Tec survival vault, featuring an overseer's desk and interactive computers, known in the Fallout universe as terminals.
First introduced in 1997, Fallout is a franchise of post-apocalyptic role-playing video games. The Prime Video Fallout TV series was viewed by more than 100 million people worldwide.

“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, when the exhibit was first announced.
“It’s a chance for gamers and history buffs alike to see just how closely the two worlds connect.”
Since opening, the Fallout exhibit has continued to evolve with new signage, updated information and new elements, including the full-size Deathclaw introduced in May 2026.
