"\n\n##LEGO Architecture | Miniature Architecture Models\n\n \n\nThe Danish toy company, established in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen, draws its name from two words ‘leg godt&#039;, which in Danish means ‘play well&#039;. Ever since its conception, LEGO has released multiple products under a number of themes and categories and continues to innovate.\n\n \n\n[#instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu6FAbulyUN/]\n\n \n\nOne of its themes is the LEGO Architecture range, a collaboration between the LEGO Group and Adam Reed Tucker (an architect and artist), who is well-known for creating and exhibiting large-scale LEGO models of various architectural structures. The first sets in this series in 2008 were the Willis Tower and the John Hancock Center; the series has since gone on to include many more miniature replicas of architectural icons from across the globe.\n\n \n\n[#instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BrfMx58gseG/]\n\n \n\n[#instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvq5Pl7gZJR/]\n\n \n\n##LEGO Architecture | The 21045 Trafalgar Square Set\n\n \n\nThis year saw the release of the 21043 San Francisco set and the 21044 Paris set in the LEGO architecture line. The third and the latest one features the 21045 Trafalgar Square set.\n\n \n\n[#instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BwAiJIun5nf/]\n\n \n\nAs per the information on the website, the new set, with a total of 1,197 pieces will comprise the National Gallery, complete with its dome and its columned facade.
