If you thought you were a genius assembling LEGO and the Land Rover Defender set seemed like something quite easy to assemble, wait until you see the construction they have decided to create in the Smaerd Land museum in Shenzhen, such a great and crazy idea that it has been a Guinness Records for the world’s largest LEGO building.
The kingdom of blocks
The Smaerd Land Museum in Shenzhen has an enclosure where LEGO lovers have a great time. With the name of Kingdom of the blocks, this floor of the museum houses large constructions that leave all visitors speechless.
One of the sections is the science fiction area, where Star Wars-inspired constructions recreate a battle between rebels and the empire, with constructions such as the Millennium Falcon or the great Battleship of the Trade Federation that we can see in The Phantom Menace. With the help of models and decorations they manage to give life to an incredible atmosphere that
The largest construction in the world
But the real attraction of the museum is in the Fantasy World area, a 500-square-meter enclosure where you can enjoy large constructions made entirely of blocks. And that is where our protagonist is, since, with an area of 191 square meters, this block construction takes all the eyes of the museum.
Inspired by the locations, characters and environments of The Lord of the Rings, this spectacular creation has been created by a total of 50 designers, who needed 3 years to complete the work. The most savvy will be able to see recognizable areas such as the Isengard fortress, although in the general calculation the appearance brings together many more similarities of other fantastic works.
Is it a LEGO construction?
Although the museum does not specify that they have used LEGO blocks, seeing the video it seems that a large part of the blocks used with the brand, or at least very similar. According to the video published by Guinness World Records, it took no less than 150 million blocks to complete it, so we do not want to imagine the budget that must be needed to carry it out.
If you want to see a little more of this construction and others exhibited in the Smaerd Land museum , we leave you with the official website so you can take a look at it and, who knows whether to write down the address to visit it one day. The museum is in Shenzhen, China, so you are going to have to save money to plan the trip. It sure is worth it!
