The Rainbow Man, Santa Fe, New Mexico
View Original Description
Open since 1945, The Rainbow Man is a leading store in authentic Native American and Hispanic arts and crafts: carrying old and contemporary items.
It once served as Robert Oppenheimer’s office during the World War II. The National Historical Landmark plaque calls a “portal to their secret mission”, which was to build the atomic bomb.
In the early 1940s, the world’s top scientists and their families didn’t know where they were headed. All they had were classified orders to report to the address "109 East Palace, Santa Fe, New Mexico”.
