Atomium, Brussels

Extremely cool visit. Was glad to see that they managed to keep the full tour going while accommodating all the new Corona guidelines. The travelling art installation in the higher spheres had everyone stopped in their tracks as soon as they entered.

It's amazing! A real work of art, engineering and architecture. I've passed by it a couple of times over the past few years and I've always been amazed by it, but, unfortunately, I never got the chance to visit inside. Finally, this summer I chose to tick it off from the bucket list and I'm so glad I did it! First of all, approaching the park and seeing the Atomium from afar leaves you speechless because it's something you can't find anywhere else. The exhibition at the lower levels shows the whole history and construction process of the building it's so interesting and enriched by photos, documents and flyers from the '50s. Seeing the initial designs and then what it turned up to be, proves that the human mind is capable of grand things! The ID#2021 - Symbol exhibition is a full immersion in sound & light. Simply mind-blowing. Going from one sphere to the other is exciting and getting to the upper sphere and enjoy the panorama is really great. If you happen to be in Brussels, you definitely have to reserve a couple of hours to fully enjoy the Atomium!
