Travel back to Expo 58
While many of the legendary pavilions have been broken down or converted to serve other purposes, the Atomium has become an iconic landmark on the Brussels skyline. The structure itself has been spruced up and polished and now serves as a must-see fixture when visiting Belgium. Though it may have been touched up a bit, the Atomium still maintains its roots from Expo 58 by presenting temporary and permanent exhibitions, as well as its own Art & Design Museum.
But for those looking to relive the experience of Expo 58 or imagine the wonder can visit Atomium. From symbol to icon –a permanent exhibition, complete with an archive of photos, videos and models recreating the experience.
