Review:

The China Lake Museum was established in 2024 to preserve and showcase the history of the China Lake Base in the Mojave Desert, where rockets and other armaments have been developed and tested from the 1940’s to the present. This modern and interesting museum is home to many weapons which span almost 80 years. A tour of the museum will demonstrate how modern weaponry has evolved over the decades to become ever more efficient in the face of advances in modern warfare. The museum has a great gift shop and is open to the public from Tuesdays to Saturdays from 10am to 4pm.
