Collection: Expo 58 Collectors' Items & Original Posters

Expo 58 - Brussels World's Fair memorabilia

Expo 58, the 1958 Brussels World's Fair, was the first major world exhibition after the Second World War and gave Belgium the Atomium. The fair's optimism lives on in its graphic design, furniture and souvenirs, which are now sought after by collectors. At TROC Leuven in Herent we regularly find original Expo 58 pieces in Belgian estates, and we describe each one with its date, maker and condition.
