Celebrating LEGO Lovers Masterpiece Gallery

Fifteen adult LEGO fans/master builders from nine countries are living out their ultimate brick-based dream as their creations are currently on display at the LEGO House in Billund, Denmark. This isn’t your average living room LEGO setup. We’re talking about the Masterpiece Gallery, where visitors from all over the world come to admire these genius-level builds without fear of stepping on any stray bricks.

This year’s exhibition includes Victoria Worsley from the UK, who turned her love of LEGO into a 1950s-style diner and a house filled with LEGO Belville figures. She’s hoping to inspire more women and girls to dive into LEGO building, maybe helping them realize there’s a whole LEGO world beyond pink castles.

Australia’s Donny Chen is showing off his massive 7,000-piece golden dragon, built in honor of the Lunar Year of the Dragon. Not bad for a guy who spends his days teaching piano and snapping bricks together with the precision of a LEGO wizard.

At 19, the youngest exhibitor, Roldan Grace from the U.S., has brought his 11,000-brick Knight on Horseback to the party. Just to keep things interesting, he’s also included a Scarlett Macaw and a Wandering House. When you’re a LEGO prodigy, one model simply isn’t enough.

All 15 builders personally transported their intricate creations to Billund, where they worked with LEGO’s Master Builder, Stuart Harris, to ensure every brick was in place. No capes involved, but the fate of thousands of tiny bricks was definitely at stake.
