Built for the 1958 Brussels World Fair, the Atomium was originally intended as a temporary celebration of scientific ingenuity. But, much like the Eiffel Tower, the locals decided they rather liked it, and the Atomium has been a permanent fixture of the Brussels skyline ever since. Part museum, part exhibition space, and part viewing platform, you can learn all about the Atomium's history in the museums, and catch up on the latest high-concept art in the vast exhibition spaces.
Don't miss ID#2021 - Symbol, a poetic visual and auditory journey, and the exhibition View From My Window with a selection of over 400 photographs of this Belgian success story. Or head straight to the top and treat your eyes to panoramic views of Brussels and beyond!
Combine Atomium with other Brussels favorites. Some things are better together.
