World Monuments in Microscale

20 reproductions of world monuments, including 15 LEGO Architecture sets and 5 original works by Maurizio Lampis, from St. Mark’s Square in Venice to the Elephant Tower in Cagliari.

Aquatic World

A theme inspired by the animated film “Finding Nemo” (2003). It features all the main characters from the film, from the little fish Nemo, to his dad Marlin, the forgetful Dory, Gill, and the turtle Crush. The diorama was created by Maurizio Lampis using a total of 5,000 bricks.

Pirate Theme

The Pirate theme is one of the most appreciated fantasy dioramas in the Museum and one of the largest themes in the exhibition. A huge battle between English imperial guards and fierce pirates animates the theme, with ships and galleons in search of gold and precious stones.

The Lord of the Rings

The Lord of the Rings is one of the most beloved sagas by fantasy enthusiasts and Tolkien fans. The theme reproduces the Battle of Helm’s Deep, between the fearsome Uruk-hai and the soldiers of Rohan, aided by their elf allies and the most famous characters of the saga.

The Bay of Discord

The Medieval Castle known as the Bay of Discord is one of Brick Builder Maurizio Lampis’s favorite themes.

The diorama, composed of about 90,000 bricks, is not inspired by any existing castle but is an entirely Fantasy theme.

It tells the story of a battle between two armies vying for a castle located within a bay that also includes a waterfall and a medieval village with its various buildings. 

Upon closer inspection, you can also find the hideouts of the forest inhabitants, the Robin Hoods, always ready to seize treasure chests full of gold. Created in about 6 months, it measures 125 cm deep and 450 cm wide.

Monumenti Sardi

This exhibition theme gathers several of the island’s most representative monuments, from the Bell Tower of San Ponziano in Carbonia to the Basilica of Saccargia in Codrongianos, from the Temple of Antas in Fluminimaggiore to Cala Goloritzé in Baunei, just to name a few. A fun way to discover and learn about the art and monuments of Sardinia.

CHRIBY, the City of Karalisbrick

The City theme is the largest and one of the most prominent themes in the Museum, reimagined by Maurizio Lampis into a colorful and original city called CHRIBY, which is constantly evolving. You will find the most striking LEGO modulars, as well as completely invented buildings.

Ancient Rome

The area dedicated to Ancient Rome will leave you speechless! Here you can admire the Trevi Fountain, a unique diorama in minifigure scale, entirely built by Maurizio Lampis, which has attracted worldwide media attention, and the famous Colosseum, with its gladiators and chariots.

Star Wars

For fans of this saga, an area dedicated to the most famous and imposing starships, such as the Star Destroyer and the Millennium Falcon, and the most beloved iconic characters and settings. A 22-year collection will leave you in awe. May the Force be with you!

Gigi Riva

The bust of the legendary footballer Gigi Riva is a masterpiece composed of 12,700 bricks. The creation of this work required 45 days of meticulous effort. The official unveiling took place on November 7, 2023, on Gigi Riva’s 79th birthday, during which he personally signed the bust, making this tribute even more special.

 

Mosaic and Carriage of Saint Efisio

The Mosaic of Sant’Efisio is a wonderful representation of the martyr who saved Cagliari from the plague in 1656. This unique piece not only celebrates the faith and devotion of the people of Cagliari but also showcases the incredible detail and beauty that can be achieved with LEGO bricks.

The Carriage of Sant’Efisio is a small reproduction of the carriage that carries the statue of the Saint during the annual procession, which takes place in May, further enriches this theme, which is particularly significant throughout the island.

St. Mark's Square, Venice

St. Mark’s Square, a symbol of Venice, is made up of 170,000 bricks and was completed in 8 months of work. Now internationally renowned, this work by Maurizio Lampis was sponsored by the Municipality of Venice and represents a new and original way to communicate the beauty of the city to a new audience.

Cathedral of Trani

The Cathedral of Trani consists of 80,000 bricks and took 6 months to complete. The original structure is a true gem of Romanesque architecture. Its striking location and beauty have made it one of the most famous cathedrals in Italy.

The Titanic

In this exhibition area of the Museum, the moment of impact with the iceberg is represented, created by Maurizio Lampis. The Titanic on display here is a LEGO set composed of 9,090 pieces, at a 1:200 scale and 135 cm long, considered one of the largest LEGO models ever. Among the authentic details are over 300 portholes, the iconic deck, lifeboats, benches, and the crane. The theme is enriched by a splendid 10-minute video that celebrates the famous story depicted in James Cameron’s film.

Piazza del Plebiscito

Maurizio Lampis, in 7 months of work, has represented his fifth National Monument. After the 24 Sardinian monuments, the Trevi Fountain, St. Mark’s Square, and the Cathedral of Trani, it is now the turn of the Campania Region with Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples. Maurizio shares: “My goal is to create Italy in miniature, and this year I decided to represent one of the most iconic symbols of Naples, Piazza del Plebiscito. The micro-minifigure scale project required the use of 85,000 LEGO bricks, without any software assistance, only photographic material. I used as many photos as possible found online or with the help of friends from Campania to reproduce as many details as possible. In the square, you can admire two beautiful equestrian statues depicting Charles III of Bourbon and his son, Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies, the two colonnades with 11 statues on the roofs, the 3 domes, and even the buildings of Via Gennaro Serra, Via Egiziaca a Pizzofalcone, and Piazzetta Salazar placed laterally and behind the diorama, which also features 3 motors for lighting. My dream is to display it in its city of origin, as has happened with all my previous works. Additionally, this year I wanted to go big by reproducing in mosaic form the symbol of symbols of football, Diego Armando Maradona. This is my further tribute to a fantastic city called Naples.”

The English Telephone Box in 1:1 Scale

The famous red London telephone boxes were introduced in the United Kingdom in 1924 and gradually installed in other countries. They were equipped with a public-use telephone consisting of a prefabricated box with a coin-operated and phone card device inside. Sardinian Brick Builder Maurizio Lampis decided to design his own, retracing the English design and creating one in 1:1 scale with 100,000 LEGO bricks. He added a classic lamp post with bulb lighting for a scene worthy of the best version of a dark winter London. Why this particular project? Because the English telephone box were installed in 1924, and this year they turn 100 years old. Designed by British architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, they represented a technological innovation and an icon of modernity in the interwar period. They are still one of the symbols of the United Kingdom and its image abroad. They are photographed by tourists, become the backdrop for souvenir photos, and are reproduced on postcards and fridge magnets as much as double-decker buses. Although they are less frequently used for making calls, they are often still in operation and, in many cases, protected as part of the national heritage. This is where the extravagant idea of building one in bricks came from, which should be the only one in the world besides the one at the LEGO STORE in London. Maurizio spent 4 months working on it, and its dimensions are 95 cm x 95 cm with a height of 238 cm. It features a phone inside with a coin slot and phone card.
