Brussels Aquarium Visit
‘Taking Care of our Oceans & Environments’. Short Video by Rozina Spinnoy.
This is a video showing our last visit to the Brussels Aquarium, in the Municipality of Koekelberg, Brussels, Belgium.
The closing day of the Brussels Aquarium, on Sunday 7th January 2018.
As an active Citizen, Social Entrepreneur and Designer living here in Brussels, I wanted to share and show my / my families wonderful experience ‘diving’ into the Aquatic World of this amazing Aquarium.
The Aquarium closed due to a number of factors sadly, after many years of dedication from the owners.
After 12 years of being open to the public..and to our family.
To share the message of how we must together, work as a community. To share the message of the passion and dedication of two amazing individuals, who started this project out of their love of nature and to spread the word of how we must take care of our environment. How our daily actions can have detrimental consequences to the amazing and colourful species you see in this video.
Please feel free to share with reference to the source.
We share this for Educational purposes.

30 minutes | Parc Cinquentenaire Fountain, Brussels, Belgium
Parc du Cinquantenaire (French for Park of the Fiftieth Anniversary) or Jubelpark (Dutch for Jubilee Park) is a large public, urban park (30 hectares) in the easternmost part of the European Quarter in Brussels, Belgium.
Most buildings of the U-shaped complex which dominate the park were commissioned by the Belgian government under the patronage of King Leopold II for the 1880 National Exhibition commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of Belgian independence. During successive exhibitions in the same area, more structures were added. The centrepiece triumphal arch was erected in 1905 replacing a previous temporary version of the arcade by Gédéon Bordiau. The structures were built in iron, glass and stone, symbolising the economic and industrial performance of Belgium. The surrounding 30-hectare park esplanade was full of picturesque gardens, ponds and waterfalls. It housed several trade fairs, exhibitions and festivals at the beginning of the century. In 1930 the government decided to reserve Cinquantenaire for use as a leisure park.
Originally this area was part of the military exercise ground outside of the center of the city, the so-called Linthout plains. For the world exhibition of 1880, the plain was developed as an exhibition center. The original pavilions of the 1880 exhibition, designed by Gédéon Bordiau, were largely replaced with the triumphal arcade designed by Charles Girault in 1904 and the large halls on both sides. Only the glass-constructed Bordiau halls remain from the 1880 structures.
The Arch was planned for the world exhibition of 1880 and was meant to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the independence of Belgium. In 1880, only the bases of the columns were completed and, during the exhibition, the rest of the arch was constructed from wooden panels. During the following years, the completion of the monument was the topic of a continuous battle between King Leopold II and the Belgian government, which did not want to spend the money required to complete it.
The park was also the site of the Brussels International (1897), for which the building wings were extended, although the arch was still incomplete.
The original architect was the Belgian Gideon Bordiau, who spent close to 20 years on the project and died in 1904. His successor, chosen by Leopold, was the French architect Charles Girault. Girault changed the design from a single arch to a tri-parte arch, and began a course of round-the-clock construction in a final push to complete it. The sculptors included:
- the quadriga, entitled Brabant Raising the National Flag, by Jules Lagae and Thomas Vincotte
- figures of Hainaut and Limbourg by Albert Desenfans
- figures of Antwerp and Liège by Charles van der Stappen
- figures of East Flanders and West Flanders by Jef Lambeaux
- figures of Namur and Luxembourg by Guillaume de Groot
The monument was completed with private funding in 1905, just in time for the 75th anniversary of the Belgian independence.

ATOMIUM DE BRUXELLES - Belgique / Belgium ( FULL HD)
L’Atomium est un monument de Bruxelles, en Belgique, construit à l'occasion de l'Exposition universelle de 1958 et représentant la maille conventionnelle du cristal de fer (structure cubique centrée) agrandie 165 milliards de fois. Elle est située à Laeken sur le plateau du Heysel où eut lieu cette exposition.
En avril 2006, la Belgique a émis une pièce commémorative de 2 euros représentant l'Atomium à l’occasion de sa réouverture.
L’Atomium a été imaginé par l’ingénieur André Waterkeyn et érigé par les architectes André et Jean Polak pour l’Exposition universelle de 1958 à Bruxelles en Belgique.
C’est un édifice à mi-chemin entre la sculpture et l’architecture qui culmine à 102 m. Son acier de construction pèse 2 400 tonnes. Il est devenu, au même titre que le Manneken Pis et la Grand-Place, un symbole de la capitale de la Belgique.
Il se compose d’une charpente d’acier portant neuf sphères reliées entre elles et revêtues, à l'origine, d’aluminium.
Les sphères ont un diamètre de 18 mètres et pèsent chacune environ 250 tonnes. Symboliquement, l’Atomium incarne l’audace d’une époque qui a voulu confronter le destin de l’Humanité avec les découvertes scientifiques.
La construction de l’Atomium fut une prouesse technique. Sur les neuf sphères, six sont rendues accessibles au public, chacune comportant deux étages principaux et un plancher inférieur réservé au service. Le Tube central contient l’ascenseur le plus rapide de l’époque (5 m/s) installé par la succursale belge de la firme suisse Schlieren (reprise plus tard par Schindler). Il permet à 22 personnes d’accéder au sommet en 23 secondes. Les escaliers mécaniques installés dans les tubes obliques, comptent parmi les plus longs d’Europe. Le plus grand mesure 35 m de long.
Brussels fountains keep kids cool in record heat
(25 Jul 2019) Belgium is experiencing its hottest heat wave on record, with temperatures soaring into the high thirties and in one town hitting above the 40 C mark.
Liege, in eastern Belgium, recorded a high of 40.2 C on Thursday.
The country's meteorological institute said it's the first time the temperature has risen to 40 C since records began in 1833.
