Travel Post #9: The Atomium is comprised of a cluster of giant spheres representing the atomic structure of an iron crystal enlarged 165 billion times. The model was constructed for the 1958 World's Fair. This gigantic structure was built by Andre Waterkeyn who also had an idea to build an upside-down verision of the Eiffel Tower... that would have been a sight to see!
If you are ever in Brussels, Belgium it is worth the train ride to see this unique monument; even if you only have time for a quick photo.
