Reference to panoramic view of Brussels
The reference to a panoramic view of Brussels is ambiguous. Does this mean that the sphere CONTAINS a panoramic painting or photo of the city, or that there is a panoramic VIEW of the city from the top???—Preceding unsigned comment added by Lee M (talk • contribs) 19:07, 2 September 2003
- OK, this has now been clarified.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.92.67.68 (talk) 01:42, 12 January 2004
Original Magnification
The original magnification listed was wrong, according to the official Web site at http://www.atomium.be/HTMLsite/dyn/page.php?translation_id=9&info_id=3&lid=3 Paul From Ottawa
Atomium Architect died
The architect of the Atomium, André Waterkeyn, just died today 5 October 2005 at the age of 88. The Atomium is finished, but will be open to the public around January 2006.
Waterkeyn owned the reproduction rights of 'his' Atomium and because it was not dismounted as foreseen, he has been earning money on copyrights all his life.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.82.146.124 (talk) 08:06, 5 October 2005
Lease & Original Lifespan
I recently visited the Atomium and purchased a Book and DVD on Expo '58. During the film it mentioned the original lease on the building was 10 years and later extended to 25 years. So I'm not sure where the statement about the Atomium's 6 month original lifespan came from.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.111.22.27 (talk) 19:59, 12 January 2007
