Ridiculously Awesome LEGO Exhibit at the Building Museum

If you’re like me and never really grew out of your childhood LEGO hobby, here’s something you’ll definitely want to check out. USA Today brings word that the National Building Museum is opening up what sounds to be a really cool exhibit: a collection of fifteen large-scale replicas of famous buildings made entirely out of LEGOs. The exhibit, called Towering Ambition, showcases the work of architect-turned-LEGO artist Adam Reed Tucker (one of only 11 LEGO Certified Professionals in the world!).
In true National Building Museum tradition, the exhibit will include a great interactive section that will allow visitors to build their own LEGO buildings and place them on a city map. Towering Ambition opens Saturday and will be on display until September 2011, so you’ll have plenty of time to head over and release your inner child over the next year.

It is actually available until September 5th, 2011. I’ve seen the Post and others incorrectly state the closing date in articles when it says right in front of the museum that it will be open until 2011.
My advice? Skip the crowds now and wait until the tourist season passes to see it. By then the novelty should wear off, too.

Thanks for catching that, Kathleen! I’ve updated the post with the 2011 date.
