The magical world of Lego’s

Zagreb has got its own Legoland! Truth be told, it is not a permanent exhibit but, rather, a large show “Kockice Expo 2010 – the Magical World of Lego’s”, which will be open to public until June 24th. Located at the Technical Museum, the exhibition will display numerous structures, vehicles, ships, castles, and fantasy figures built from almost a million tiny Lego bricks.

Zagreb has got its own Legoland! Truth be told, it is not a permanent exhibit but, rather, a large show “Kockice Expo 2010 – the Magical World of Lego’s”, which will be open to public until June 24th. Located at the Technical Museum, the exhibition will display numerous structures, vehicles, ships, castles, and fantasy figures built from almost a million tiny Lego bricks.

Proof that the popular Lego’s keep withstanding the test of time can be found at the large exhibition “Kockice Expo 2010 – the Magical World of Lego’s”, which attracted numerous visitors to Zagreb’s Technical Museum on the very first day. The show will remain open to public until June 24th so make sure to visit this impressive “Legoland” built out of almost a million separate, tiny plastic pieces.
It is difficult to say which exhibit is most attractive. Certainly the largest is “Lego-town” which spreads across some 20 square meters and took some 150,000 pieces to build. It features a school, a railway, a zoo, and an array of other structures. Visitors will have an opportunity to see miniature versions of Zagreb’s famous landmark structures, such as the Croatian National Theatre building and the Art Pavilion, but that is only but a small part of exhibited work made of Lego’s.
The show was organized, for the most part, by members of the only Croatian Lego Fan Club and some motifs, such as a large head of Albert Einstein, constructed from almost 250,000 pieces and weighing almost 250 kilos, were realized thanks to the donation by the Lego company itself.
Apart from Zagreb’s landmarks, the exhibition also features global attractions such as the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower, and even Frank Lloyd Wright’s famous Fallingwater house. Aficionados of science fiction will be most impressed by a large Millennium Falcon, the space ship from the Star Wars series of films, which took 5000 pieces to construct. Fans of historic scenes will not be disappointed either because the show also features an array of knight’s castles, pirate gangs, but also ultra modern cars, trains, and vessels…
All of the aforementioned is but a small part of what can be seen at the Technical Museum so make sure not to miss this show, which is the first exhibition of Lego’s of its kind in Croatia.
The exhibition is intended for all generations and the youngest can enjoy play areas and participate in creating various Lego designs.
