Erin Clancey, Associate Vice President of Collections and Exhibits at The National WWII Musuem in New Orleans, breaks down what was included in what was called “the most dangerous toy ever.” In the 1950s, the Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab was marketed toward children as an educational toy to introduce young minds to the scientific advancements of the time. This is one of the artifacts you can find in the Museum’s final permanent exhibit hall, the Liberation Pavilion.

Liberation Pavilion explores the end of World War II, the Holocaust, the postwar years, and how the war continues to impact our lives today.
