I visited the ADAM Museum in Brussels this spring. This is the art and design museum and it's permanent exhibit is the Plasticarium. It was more interesting than I initially thought it would be as it combined nostalgia from my childhood with thought provoking ideas about how a material can go from revolutionary and ground breaking to cheap and commercial.

There was also a temporary exhibit about graphic design in the USSR that was very interesting. I did not take any pictures. But state controlled graphic design is an area you don't hear much about so it was a fairly unique exhibit. Much of it was either copied from the west or promoting the state. The designs didn't have to actually sell the product as there was no capitalist competition.

This museum is right next to the Atomium which was created for the 1958 World's Fair. We didn't go in this as it seemed like a picture op more than anything else. It was also cold and rainy.
