Atomium

25 fév 2015

Originally conceived and constructed for the World Fair of 1958, the Atomium was not designed to be a long-standing monument, and yet, the unusual structure has since become established as a landmark attraction of Brussels.

A combination of sculpture and architecture, the Atomium defies all attempts at classification. Half-cubic, half-spherical, the stainless steel structure is both a museum and an exhibition centre, and offers one of the most beautiful 360° panoramic views over the belgian Capital.

Visitors must pass through numerous tubes and spheres to explore this self-proclaimed emblem of universality and peace. The 9 spheres of the Atomium, 102 metres from the ground, house a variety of permanent collections and temporary exhibitions throughout the year.

Come and enjoy this unique attraction and take in Brussels from an entirely different perspective!
