The Atomium is a building in Brussels originally constructed for Expo 58, the 1958 Brussels World's Fair.
Description
Designed by the engineer André Waterkeyn and architects André and Jean Polak, it stands 102 m (335 ft) tall.
Its nine 18 m (59 ft) diameter stainless steel clad spheres are connected so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell of an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times.
It is a museum.
