A house-museum in the form of LEGO bricks was built in Denmark
The building, made of massive blocks that look like construction bricks, was built in the Danish city of Billund. The LEGO House Museum was designed by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels and took four years to build. Inside the museum there is a real paradise for “Legomaniacs”.
The small Danish town of Billund has just over 6 thousand inhabitants. It became popular in the 60s of the last century after the LEGO factory and the Legoland children's theme park opened there. Then tourists from all over the world began to come there.
The huge building of the LEGO House Museum was designed four years ago. It has an area of almost 12 thousand square meters, writes Dailymail . The house consists of 21 giant blocks, which in appearance resemble the parts of the legendary toy. The similarity with construction bricks is also added by the fact that the museum’s façade is covered with tiles. This creates the illusion that the colorful LEGO blocks were assembled by an invisible giant.
Inside the museum you can also see sculptures made using 25 million LEGO pieces. There are giant trees and dinosaurs, miniature cities, and a "masterpiece gallery" displaying the most unusual works of toy fans. In the four play zones there are a lot of construction parts laid out, from which you can build something yourself.
The house museum was designed by the young Danish architect Bjarke Ingels. He managed to create a three-dimensional “village” consisting of many intersecting spaces, each of which can be used in any way. Each space is enclosed in a snow-white LEGO brick, and the visitor can either move through them sequentially or in a free order, each time plunging into a new world, writes Architectural Digest .
Several blocks have access to the street - onto colorful terraces where you can continue to play, study or just admire the views.
A ticket to the LEGO House will cost 26 euros, and you can book it in advance onthe official website of the museum . It is expected that the house-museum will annually receive 250 thousand visitors from all over the world.
