What You Will Do
Walk through the mind of a man, the making of an era, and the streets that shaped them both.
This walking tour connects the dots between radical ideas, world-shifting science, and the quiet streets of the Upper West Side—home to J. Robert Oppenheimer and the intellectual circles that helped shape the modern age. Against the backdrop of New Deal optimism and wartime urgency, explore how New York shaped the man who would become the "father of the atomic bomb." Along the way, you'll encounter the residences, schools, and institutions that influenced not only Oppenheimer but the scientific and political figures around him.
