The release of Christopher Nolan’s film has residents of Los Alamos rolling out the red carpet. Tourism is surging
the old historic centre of Los Alamos, New Mexico, and J. Robert Oppenheimer will greet you at every turn. The local event centre—which hosted an Oppenheimer festival to celebrate the release ofabout the father of the atomic bomb—is just off Oppenheimer Drive. A bronze statue of Oppenheimer, dapper hat and pipe included, stands on a street corner. The local pub offers Oppenheimer trivia.
The most notable thing about the town, apart from its history and stunning vistas, is that it is home to the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the successor to Oppenheimer’s science campus, where research on nuclear weapons continues. But the release of Mr Nolan’s film has residents rolling out the red carpet. Tourism is surging. Wendy Berhman, who runs the Manhattan Project National Historical Park, says visitor numbers have more than doubled compared with last year.
