At the occasion of its 60th birthday, the Atomium will celebrate Expo 58- this magical and glomorous event for which it was created with 3 exhibitions that are grouped under the title Galaxy 58. These exhibition will take place in the Atomium and in the ADAM, Brussels Design Museum [at 150m from the Atomium] and will be accessible between March 23rd and December 31st 2018.

Through many document, videos, photos, objects and costumes mostly unpublished: te extension of the permanent exhibition of the Atomium is more particularly devoted to people who have made Expo 58 and the past experiences.

I found the most impressive levels 3/4/5 the temporary exhibition which explainall about EXPO PEOPLE FROM 1958 the historic of the place and how the ATOMIUM was designed. The most interesting floor for me is René Magritte and the surrealism.Two Belgian icons meet!
You can enjoy face to face with his paintings, Some of his works be presented in 3D in actual size.

How fascinating! I've seen it from the outside, but I had no idea there was so much going on inside. Looks like another place I need to visit.
