The Oppenheimer Memorial is a tribute to the life and work of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb. The memorial is located at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, where Oppenheimer served as the director of the Manhattan Project during World War II.
The memorial consists of a bronze statue of Oppenheimer, which was unveiled on October 17, 2015, on the 70th anniversary of the Trinity Test, the first detonation of an atomic bomb. The statue was created by artist Don Wiegand and depicts Oppenheimer holding a copy of John Donne's poem "Batter my heart, three-person'd God."
The Oppenheimer Memorial also includes a plaque with a quote from Oppenheimer's speech at the Trinity Test: "We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent." The plaque also lists the names of the scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project.
In addition to the statue and plaque, the memorial features a garden with benches and trees that were planted in memory of Oppenheimer and other scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project.

J. Robert Oppenheimer was born in New York City in 1904 and studied physics at Harvard University. He later taught at the University of California, Berkeley, and the California Institute of Technology before joining the Manhattan Project in 1942.

After the war, Oppenheimer became an advocate for international control of atomic energy and opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb. He was later accused of being a security risk and had his security clearance revoked by the US government in 1954. Oppenheimer died in 1967 at the age of 62.
