The J. Robert Oppenheimer Memorial Committee sponsors the traveling photographic exhibit. Prior to the Bradbury Science Museum, it was on display at Mesa Public Library in Los Alamos. The show will move to the O�ate Center in Espa�ola July 2-22 and to the Santa Fe Community College Sept. 9 through Oct. 14. The college has scheduled an opening reception on Sept. 23.
