LEGiO-museum: from looking to building yourself

At the LEGiO-museum in Grootegast, everything revolves around LEGO: looking at collectors’ items and also getting busy with the bricks yourself. The museum is part of Museumplein Grootegast.

Plan your visit ↗

A set as a design

The offering described includes original sets. Take a look at how a recognisable shape is made from a limited number of pieces. Which detail is needed to understand straight away what the model represents?

A world in miniature

Dioramas bring buildings and figures together in a scene. Choose a small element at the edge of such a display. How does it contribute to the whole?

Try your own solution

According to Museumplein, LEGO to play with is part of what is on offer. Use what you have seen as the starting point for a building challenge of your own, for example how to make a shape recognisable with as few bricks as possible.

Before you go

Check the current Museumplein schedule, including holiday dates, and the conditions of the joint admission ticket.
