Largest LEGO®-brick recreation of a painting
Imagine a giant LEGO® version of Claude Monet's famous Water Lilies painting, made with 650,000 bricks in 22 shades!
Chinese artist Ai Weiwei turned the masterpiece into a massive gaming-themed LEGO® creation - it’s so big, it covers as much space as 5 cars parked side by side. 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
Unveiled in April 2023 at London’s Design Museum, this epic artwork is Weiwei's biggest LEGO project yet, but he's been creating cool brick art since 2007. 😮

Largest LEGO® brick playing card
A 21-year-old student from Canada, named Faith Howe, created this record-breaking playing card using almost 50,000 bricks!
It is a Queen of Hearts card and it measures 3.69 metres (12 ft 1 in) tall and 2.59 metres (8 ft 5 in) wide, which is over 1,600 times bigger than a normal playing card. 🤯
So how long did it take to build it?
Well, Faith worked on the project for 9 days at her local library, starting each day at 10 a.m. when the library opened and stopping 10 hours later when it closed…
That’s dedication! 💪
