Nuclear gamma-ray lines provide a unique window on the high energy Universe, especially so for supernovae and nuclear astrophysics. The potential for significant contributions to the understanding of SNe Ia, as well as the large potential for new discoveries, has long been recognized, but technical progress in this challenging energy band has been slow. I will review the groundbreaking discoveries of CGRO and INTEGRAL, and discuss how these have inspired and driven the development of powerful new instrumentation over the past decade. I will preview the expected results from NuSTAR, where the next major advances in nuclear line astronomy will be achieved. In addition I will look forward to the next generation of MeV instruments currently under development, including wide-field Compton and focusing Laue lens telescopes.
