Zbudowane na Światową Wystawę EXPO, która odbyła się w 1958 roku w Brukseli. Autorami konstrukcji są inżynier Andre Waterkeyn oraz architekci Andre i Jean Polak. Początkowo planowano, że obiekt będzie istniał tylko 6 miesięcy, a po tym okresie zostanie rozebrany. Atomium będące czymś między rzeźbą a architekturą symbolizuje model cząstki żelaza, powiększony 165 miliardów razy.

Atomium - the modern symbol of Brussels
The 102 meter high structure consists of nine steel spheres with a diameter of 18 meters each and connecting corridors. Each of them is 23 meters long and has a diameter of 3 meters. From the windows of the highest sphere, from a height of 92 meters, you can see the panorama of Brussels, as well as Mini Europe, a miniature park of the most beautiful cities in Europe, which is located in the nearby Bruparc. In good weather, you can also see Antwerp.
Of the nine spheres that make up this structure, five are open to visitors. The first two contain a permanent exhibition dedicated to EXPO 58, the remaining three are reserved for temporary exhibitions. There is a restaurant at the top of the Atomium.
