About Design Museum Brussels

The Design Museum Brussels grew out of the Atomium’s acquisition of the Plasticarium, a private collection of plastic objects. Since 2015, its Plastic Design Collection has traced the landscape of plastics in design from the 1950s to the present day, and the museum has since widened its scope to design more broadly and its impact on society and everyday life.
