The Bradbury Museum and Repubblica.

Today, on Repubblica, there was an article, on the Bradbury Science Museum in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Of course, I might be a little biased by the fact I lived there for 3 yrs and I actually visited the museum, but this article seems to me more ridiculous than the actual Museum.
The article points out that there is an apology of the bombs and accuses the Museum of short memory, since it forgets those who died and the devastations because of the bombs.
Now, I have some doubts that this woman really went to the Museum. She mistakenly drives the reader to the conclusion that the bombs were actually built there, whereas they were only designed at LANL. One of them was actually produced at the Oak Ridge Natl. Lab. It does make a difference when you are reporting on something, since you want your facts straight.
In any event what i contest here is the approach of the article. The purpose of the Museum is not to remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki, not even the bombs. It is plenty of Museums doing that. Rather, its purpose is to lead the visitors through the steps and the emotions during the years of the Manhattan Project, from the very place were this was started. The Manhattan project was a majestic endeavor with a dignity in itself. That is the message of the museum, nothing else.
Furthermore, the Museum is basically of the Los Alamos Natl Lab. Any consideration should start from here.
If you go to the Guinness brewery they show you how they produce it, they don't show how many people died drinking beer. There are many other things why the Museum is ridiculous, definitely, not this one. The perspective is quite different.

PS: It is clear that the people who actually stayed at LANL find this article quite idiotic. Stefano talks about it on his blog, as well... eheh
