Destination : Future

    It's a true sci-fi vision. But it is not a time machine. It's not inside a spaceship. It's not a secret science laboratory.

    It's inside the Atomium, built for the Universal Exhibition, in Brussels, in 1958.

    Un extraordinaire décor de science-fiction... Mais ce n'est ni une machine à voyager dans le temps, ni l'intérieur d'un vaisseau spatial ou d'un laboratoire de recherche ultra-secret...
    C'est à l'intérieur de l'Atomium, construit pour l'Exposition universelle de Bruxelles, en 1958.
