The Atomium.

The Atomium was built for the Universal Exhibition of 1958. It has 9 spheres, linked by steel tubes. They form an iron crystal molecule, enlarged 165 billion times.
The Atomium is currently being renovated, it's supposed to be completely finished by the end of 2005.

Its a great shot. Lovely Perpective. I also have a slide of this when I visited in 1977 so your exhibition date is out a little. The Atomium is looking decidely better than when I first saw it.
