Ozd (Hungary)
•
This small, discrete sculpture, perched on top of a pedestal, can be found in Stadium Park and is believed to date from the 1960’s. This is the oldest replica that we know about. It is thought to have been made by a group of engineers and workers from the city’s metallurgical factory and may have originally been mobile. •
Minimundus (Klagenfurt / Austria)
This 1:50 replica (about 2 metres high) was a gift from the City of Brussels to the Urban Community of Seville on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition which was held in the Andalusian city in 1992. The monument was not removed after the event and still adorns the bus station on Plaza de Armas. Parque Europa (Torrejon de Ardoz - Madrid / Spain) •
This replica, at a scale of 1:25 (i.e. approximately 4 metres in height), is on display in the Minimundus collection of miniature buildings which opened in 1957. • Miniwelt
Sevilla (Spain)
(Liechtenstein)
This most recent of the replicas is also at a scale of 1:25 and is located in a miniaturised collection of European buildings. Curiously, our Spanish friends chose not to give the Atomium its large windows, giving a rather strange appearance to it.
This is also a 1:25 replica and can be seen in the Miniwelt collection of miniature buildings, which contains approximately 100 emblematic buildings from all over the world in an area of 6.5 hectares.
