"Trinity Cube", part of Trevor Paglen's Sites Unseen exhibition at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in 2018, is made of two types of glass. The outer layer is made of irradiated glass collected from the Fukushima exclusion zone. The inner core is Trinitite, created when the first atomic bomb was tested in New Mexico in 1945. This is an artist's proof and is not radioactive. The actual cube was placed back in the Fukishima exclusion zone, where it will be safe to view by the public somewhere between 3 and 30,000 years from now.
