Atomium & Design Museum Brussels

The Atomium & Design Museum Brussels form a dynamic cultural duo in the Heysel/Heizel district of Brussels. Built for the 1958 World’s Fair, the Atomium has become an architectural landmark and symbol of Belgium. Today, it functions as a museum and exhibition space where visitors can explore immersive installations that connect history, art, and digital innovation, while enjoying panoramic views over the city. Its nine interconnected spheres create a unique experience that blends science, culture, and design.

Just 150 meters away, the Design Museum Brussels extends this journey into the world of creativity and innovation. Home to the renowned Plastic Design Collection, the museum showcases design pieces from the mid-20th century to today, and celebrates Belgian design through its permanent exhibition “Belgisch Design Belge.” With rotating exhibitions, workshops, and guided tours, the museum makes design accessible and engaging for all audiences.
