History and collection


The Art and Design Atomium Museum (ADAM) was established in 2015 through the purchase of a private collection. The permanent collection, originally known as the Plasticarium, focuses on the use of plastic in the design industry from the mid-20th century to the present day. It occupies approximately half of the total surface area of the museum, the rest being devoted to temporary exhibitions.
The collection includes works by Anna Castelli-Ferrieri, Apple Design Team (Jonathan Ive), Evelyne Axell, Joe Colombo, Ruth Francken, Konstantin Grcic, Quasar Khanh, Shiro Kuramata, Cesare Leonardi and Franca Stagi, Verner Panton, Gaetano Pesce, Ettore Sottsass and Perry King, Philippe Starck, Studio 65, and Roger Tallon. In 2016, the museum exhibited 240 previously unseen photographs by Charles and Ray Eames.
In 2020, the museum opened Belgisch Design Belge, a permanent exhibition space dedicated to the history and practice of design in Belgium. On 2 October 2020, the museum changed its name to Design Museum Brussels to better reflect the evolution of its mission towards creation in design. Subsequently in 2020, the Plasticarium became the Plastic Design Collection.
