?Lego House? designed by Bjarke Ingels is finally open
It looks fun! Editor's Note: This post was originally published in March 2017 and has been updated with the most recent information.
It was an idea destined to happen: a whole building dedicated to Lego, built with nothing but massive Lego-style ?bricks.? Indeed, word of the real-life Lego building designed by Bjarke Ingels Group first got out in 2013. Fast-forward four years, the pile of 21 white blocks is finally complete, looking just as Lego-y as early renderings suggested.
Now open to the public, the 130,000-square-foot building once referred to as a ?Lego museum? is now officially called ?Lego House.? But don?t let the humble name fool you: There?s so much going on inside.
Located in Billund, Denmark, Lego House offers both free and paid ?experiences,? which are expected to draw some 250,000 visitors a year. The ground level has three restaurants, conference space, a store, and a 20,000-square-foot public square. The next two levels feature ?play zones? arranged by color, and further up, you?ll find a gallery dedicated to fan-made Lego masterpieces. It?s all topped by roof terraces open to everyone and an oversized ?keystone? block sporting studs seen on real Lego pieces.
Take a peek inside.
The ground floor of the complex features an astounding 50-foot-high ?Tree of Creativity? made of over 6.3 million Lego bricks.
The 20-ton structure took some 1,200 hours to install.
