Belgium might be small, but it is a hub for science, enterprise and business and as such it has developed some excellent attractions for Science students. Discover the illusions of physics at Scientastic, or learn about the natural world at the Royal Belgian Institute. Experience life as an astronaut at the Euro Space Center, or discover the secrets of liquid nitrogen at the House of Science. Belgium is a hidden gem for Science education, and offers a wealth of inspiring visits.
The Atomium was designed as a celebration of scientific progress for the 1958 World Fair. The structure represents an iron crystalline molecule enlarged 165 billion times. Inside the nine spheres, visitors can see permanent and temporary exhibitions on themes such as Science, Progress and the Future

These unique exhibits are based on the themes of entertaining physics, illusions, and the five senses.
