Bomb Shelter Decor for Post-Nuclear Living

In
the days of duck-and-cover drills and atomic anxiety, many families
bought space in bomb shelters, stocking and decorating their possible
nuclear homes. Richard Ross's photographs capture the abandoned
shelters and what some families planned to take to the apocalypse.
Ross's book Waiting for the End of the World
contains photographs and accounts of bomb shelters from across America,
Europe, and Asia. Below are photos from just a few of those shelters:
shelters in Sanpete and Salt Lake City, Utah, the Phillip Hoag and
Charlie Hull Shelters in Emigrant, Montana, oil tycoon's Ling Chieh
Kung's shelter in Conroe, Texas, and a public shelter near Zurich.
