Atomium and Design Museum: Admission

This space-age inspired architectural masterpiece has become an iconic symbol of contemporary Brussels, towering 100 meters above the city. The Atomium was built for the 1958 Brussels World's Fair as a temporary structure intended to celebrate scientific advances. However, like the Eiffel Tower, its popularity caused it to remain in the cityscape. Today, the Atomium serves as a museum, exhibition space and observation deck, where you can learn about its history and enjoy contemporary art exhibitions in its spacious halls.
