LEGO® Architecture launches its latest addition – the iconic Guggenheim Museum to commemorate the 150th Birth Anniversary of legendary Ar. Frank Lloyd Wright…
LEGO has far surpassed its role in game-play with the variety it offers; especially commendable being its architecture
series that offers model recreations of iconic historic buildings. In a world
that is dwarfing in knowledge-sharing, this comes as a creative way to initiate
young minds into cross-cultural overtures.

Widely regarded as an exceptional icon of
the 20th century, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum launched the great age of museum
architecture and proved that a collection’s physical home could be as crucial a part of the
museum experience as the work itself. LEGO Architecture series now makes this household
chatter by adding the museum model to its already significant collection of 20th
century architectural icons.

Located in New York City, the
internationally renowned Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum® is hailed as one of
Frank Lloyd Wright’s greatest achievements. Wright's masterpiece was opened to
the public in 1959, gaining immediate recognition as an architectural landmark.
Launching the Guggenheim Museum model in the 150th birth anniversary
year of Wright, LEGO pays a beautiful tribute to the legendary architect.

The detailed LEGO model focuses on the
building's smoothed concrete facade with its distinctive curves and lines, and
features its famous ‘inverted-ziggurat’ rotunda and 8-story annex tower. The Guggenheim sign, featuring
Wright's architectural lettering, has also been recreated in a similar typeface
to complement the authenticity of the model. A section of New York City’s 5th Avenue Museum Mile with its
signature yellow cabs completes the model, capturing the essence of this
magnificent structure.
