LEGO® Architecture: Towering Ambition
November 3, 2012 - February 24, 2013
The Art of Building with LEGO®
Draw inspiration for creating your own designs from the LEGO® Architecture: Towering Ambition exhibition in Henry Ford Museum. LEGO® Certified Professional Adam Reed Tucker has recreated famous landmarks that he constructed entirely out of LEGO® bricks. The Exhibition is composed of 15 models: Fallingwater, 7 South Dearborn, Aon Center, Chicago Spire, John Hancock Center, Marina City, Willis Tower, Trump Tower, Skyneedle, Burj Khalifa, Empire State Building, St Louis Arch, TransAmerica Building, Jin Moa Tower, and one tower of the World Trade Center.

Explore the architectural wonders, and then start your own construction project in the nearby play pit. When finished with your masterpiece, place it on our large-scale LEGO® city map that will grow in size with every new builder’s addition.

LEGO® Architecture: Towering Ambition was developed by the National Building Museum, Washington D. C. Play area sponsored through in-kind donation from LEGO® Systems, Inc. LEGO®, its logo and the brick and knob configuration are trademarks of the LEGO Group. © 2010-12 The LEGO Group.
