Description
The landmark created for the 1958 World Fair has been completely refurbished. Even when it's drizzling, the spheres - which represent an ice crystal magnified 165 billion times - still sparkle, thanks to the stainless steel cladding. After darkness has fallen, it presents an exciting play of light. The lighting design for the spheres and tubes is the work of the German expert, Ingo Maurer. In the spheres there are temporary exhibitions about the 1950s and contemporary art, while in the uppermost sphere there is a restaurant serving Belgian specialities - with breathtaking panoramic views and very fancy prices.
A marvel of Belgian engineering and Brussels's emblem.
