Plasticarium / Art & Design, Atomium Museum, Brussels, 2015
Brussels, Belgium, 2015
A strikingly minimalist museum environment draws attention to the items and information on display, enabling everyone - from the general public to the knowledgeable enthusiast - to find something of interest to them.
This permanent collection, known as The Plasticarium, is the only one of its kind in the world and offers a rich contribution to the cultural dynamism of Europe’s capital city.
The collection was created by Philippe Decelle, an ardent enthusiast; over the years, he has accumulated several thousand items dating from the golden age of plastic in the early 1960s to the post-modern era, via pop art.
As the area devoted to this collection cannot contain all the items, the display will be rotated on an annual basis, so that visitors will be offered a different experience with each new visit to the exhibition.
