	Atomium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Built for the 1958 Brussels World's Fair (Expo '58), the 103-meter (335-foot) tall Atomium monument represents a unit cell of an iron crystal (body-centered cubic), magnified 165 billion times, with vertical body diagonal, with tubes along the 12 edges of the cube and from all 8 vertices to the center.
		Nine steel spheres 18 meters in diameter connect via tubes with escalators as long as 35 m, among the longest in Europe.
		The Atomium, which has been closed to the public since October 2004, re-opened on 18th February 2006.

	Expatica's Belgian news in English: Atomium: I'm still standing
		The Atomium was the central attraction of the 1958 World Fair, held at a time when scientific discoveries and progress were expected to provide peace and prosperity for generations to come.
		The Atomium was thus a central theme, designed also as an ode to atomic energy amid public uncertainty after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
		Moreover, the Atomium is not a model of an atom, but instead a metal molecule — or to be more precise, an iron atom — reflecting the commercial interests of the Belgian steel industry which financed the project.

	Atomium - 1958 Brussels World Fair
		His idea was to reproduce the concept of the atom, which is at the heart of all the sciences concerned with the formation of matter, and to demonstrate by a monument the importance of everything that happens on an infinitesimal scale.
		To avoid any misunderstanding: the Atomium was built by private enterprise, encouraged, it is true, by the authorities, but left entirely in the charge of its promoters, the three Belgian metal industry associations.
		The Atomium played its role perfectly for the Exhibition of 1958, so well, in fact, that the City of Brussels asked for it not to be dismantled afterwards.

		Architect André Waterkeyn (photo), the Atomium's father, was not able to see his baby shine out over the Brussels' sky as he passed away a few months ago while the renovation was in full swing.
		Contrary to popular belief, the Atomium is not a reference atomic energy, but is a scaled up (165 billion times) model of an iron molecule, representing its sponsors: the Belgian metal industry.
