Question - 211

The first sculpture is designed as a hugely magnified version of the second visual. Identify both and the location of the sculpture.

Answer: This is the Atomium in Brussels built for the 1958 world fair. It is a model of the body centered cubic crystalline structure of Iron magnified some 165 billion times. Srivats, Vetti, Anshul, Iam, Schmetterling and Rajesh got it. Well done.
