Like all of you, my primary thought while playing a Fallout game is ‘I wish I could experience this in real life’. Well, do I have good news for you. The National Atomic Testing Museum in sunny Las Vegas is bringing the post-apocalypse to our ongoing apocalypse in the form of an exhibit all about the venerable post-nuclear roleplaying game series.
“Through carefully selected objects and interpretive displays,” quoth the blurb, “the exhibit will bridge fact and fiction. Highlights include screen-worn Vault suits and memorabilia alongside graphic panels that explore the recurring elements of the Fallout franchise, along with the key Cold War themes that influenced the world and its lore.”
In other words, it’ll be about Fallout, sure, but it’s also going to try to teach you something about real life, too, which we can all agree is a low-down and dirty trick on the museum’s part.
