Belgium Expo 58 World trade fair




Today exactly 50 years ago the first Big World trade fair opened in Belgium.
It was the time of a new decade after the second world war. A few of the buildings from that time you can still see today ( like the Atomium ) , but most is long gone.
Here's a great site with info & pictures from 50 years ago Expo 58- it is in English ! , so take your time to make a nostalgia trip. And here's a link to all the events that will be held in Brussels this year
