Escher lithographs and a full-scale, functioning LEGO harpsichord.
Marvel at spectacular LEGO creations like:
A life-sized Stegosaurus and an 80,000-brick T. Rex skeleton
Detailed microscale versions of landmarks like the Acropolis and Yankee Stadium
A 22-foot long, 350-pound re-creation of the World War II battleship Yamato
A robotic, giant chess set that can replay historical matches or take on an opponent
A three-level, remote-controlled Jawa Sandcrawler, complete with moving conveyor belt
