The exhibition took two years to put together. It took 5,000 hours to build, and used more than a million Lego bricks. Unfortunately it had been closed on July 31.
"Les écuries" where the exhibition took place
At the entrance was Napoleon's hat all in Lego of course
The "Arc de Triomphe" in Paris, amazing details !
The "Malmaison" castle in Paris, Napoleon's home and headquarters
Les Invalides, where Napoleon is burried
His last headquarter during the Waterloo battle
The Hougoumont farm, where Wellington won over Napoleon
The Lion's mound
London Bridge

And finally a picture of Wellington and of Napoleon and Josphine's wedding.
In one corner of the exhibition there was a huge table for children to play with Legos. The exhibition had a big success.

It's amazing what you can make out of LEGO!
ReplyDeleteI love the Lions's mound. What an incredible exhibition, I wonder if it will go on tour.
ReplyDeleteHi Gattina - what an amazing exhibition ... and I'm so pleased you posted photos for us. It is extraordinary what they can do with Lego - everywhere there seem to be models made from Lego ... when I was in Durham Cathedral they had a lego cathedral model up and running ...
ReplyDeleteBut as you say the detail in these is brilliant - I love the 'art work' ...
Cheers Hilary
Amazing Lego exhibits, love the series of images. The London Bridge is one of my favorites. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice exhibition ! I imagine little kids in front of it ! C'est merveilleux ! And all in details !
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique exhibition! My son Angus, (37 years old) and his son (five years old) would love to see these Lego marvels!
ReplyDeleteFantastic!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCould I please ask a question????
Have you considered posting your lovely photos, so they are the full width of the area, on which you post? Then, they would be easily seen, in their full detail, when we read your posts.
As they are now, they have to be individually clicked on, and enlarged.
Asked by someone who loves to post her own photos, in a large way.
I just size my photos, so they fit in the width, of where I post, on my blog.
Please don't be upset with me, for asking. Please and thank you.

Wow all in lego-that's an amazing construction. And really they managed to make details notable. That's a great job done absolutely!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what they have done with Lego blocks.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite remarkable, Gattina!
Have a Great Day!
Peace :)
How cool
ReplyDeleteI like the idea that the whole Battle of Waterloo was recreated in Lego.
ReplyDeleteWhen the children were young we always bought them some lego. Once we went to
legoland in Billund in Danmark. We enjoyed being there.
Have a wonderful week.
