Highlights
Eiffel Tower
The iron Lady is the masterpiece of this exhibit. She is staged for the James Bond “A view to kill,” when Roger Moore is purchasing May Day in Paris. The assembled Eiffel Tower measures 5.2 meters (17 feet), weighs 150 kilos (110 pounds) and consists of 150 000 Lego bricks!
Star Wars
An entire room is dedicated to Star Wars. Different scenes of the saga are represented in Lego bricks and some main characters are also portrayed. I particularly enjoyed the Millennium Falcone spaceship and the numerous details displayed. The portrait of Dark Vader riding with Yoda as E.T Phone Home was just perfect!
