Hans Bethe House

Physicist and Nobel laureate Hans Bethe headed the Manhattan Project’s Theoretical Division, a small but prestigious group that studied critical mass and nuclear efficiency.  While in Los Alamos, Bethe lived in a house that was first built for the Los Alamos Ranch School for boys. The house is now part of the Los Alamos History Museum, and contains the Harold Agnew Cold War Gallery, which explores the Cold War history of Los Alamos through artifacts and exhibits.
