Welcome to a world made of Lego®!

Visitors take a quick tour of World Heritage sites, in miniature.

Kazuyoshi Naoe, one of the professional Lego Model Builders contributing to the exhibition. What a great job title!And Naoe's contribution to the exhibition: Gaudi's Sagrada Família, a building which the model builder would like to visit in the future. The model took 45 days to build, and was torn down and started over 6 times.

The Gusuku Castle in Okinawa, one of several World Heritage sites located in Japan that are represented in the exhibition.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa, leaning at the same angle as the real thing.Another Japanese World Heritage Site, Buddhist Monuments in the Horyu-ji Area, rendered in meticulous detail.

The gallery provided a space of kids of all ages to play with Lego.
