Singapore's Interactive LEGO Mural for Schoolkids

By Rain Noe - July 23

in Toy

To celebrate Singapore's 60th birthday, the National Museum of Singapore exhibited the country's largest LEGO mural.

Composed of 265,743 blocks, it's no "Water Lilies" by Ai Weiwei; instead it depicts a more prosaic scene of Singapore shophouses as they were in the 1960s.

What I did find interesting, at least for kids, is that the museum asked visitors to complete the mural. Numbered spaces on the mural and a diagram had schoolkids fill in the blanks from a brick inventory.

It's kind of a neat idea, and I could see a savvy schoolteacher setting something like this up to get a classroom involved in a satisfying group activity. It would be a more orderly version of "Exquisite Corpse."
