LEGO has been building our plastic dreams since 1947. It’s a killer when you stand on a piece, but it’s a great toy for firing imaginations. What doesn’t the LEGO stardust cover? There’s not much. There are Legoland parks around the world – one in its hometown of Billund in Denmark, there’s one near London in England, one in Germany halfway between Munich and Stuttgart, there’s even one in the theme-park capital of the world Florida and one in Malaysia near Singapore‘s border. Check out these LEGO versions of iconic monuments around the world:
Natural History Museum, London
The Reichstag, Berlin
