Unlocking History Brick by Brick! Today, the LEGO Group unveiled the highly anticipated #10326 LEGO Icons Natural History Museum set. It is the largest LEGO Modular Building set by piece-count and one of the most requested building themes by fans.
The #10326 LEGO Icons Natural History Museum is the perfect addition to the LEGO Modular Buildings Collection and features fresh architecture, new building techniques, and countless fun stories. The two-story model includes dual atriums, a removable roof, and a middle floor, and is packed with brick-built exhibits and details. The 4,014-piece model measures over 12 in. (31 cm) high, 15 in. (39 cm) wide and 10 in. (25 cm) deep.
To the right of the entrance, visitors are welcomed by a giant brick-built Brachiosaurus skeleton. This dinosaur is so large, that its neck rises above the first floor and stretches into the second. It’s flanked by several smaller exhibits including a sabertooth skull, a fossil, and yes, even dinosaur eggs.
Up on the landing, the museum’s geology section showcases a colorful array of quartz, geodes, and stalagmites, and spotlighting a cutaway of the earth and its molten core.
Heading up to the second floor, witness a large map of the planet showing the projected orbit of a new rocket, a detailed orrery of the solar system, and a diorama of a future space base. Up on the roof, the museum’s curator recounts their experiences and travels in their detailed office writing memoirs.
Here are a few more pictures of the set, showing the large banners at the front of the museum and the museum curator’s office.
As usual, the set can seamlessly connect with previously released LEGO Modular Buildings with LEGO Technic pegs.
