Paleontology lovers will notice numerous dinosaur exhibits on the first floor, including the Brachiosaurus skeleton, whose neck stretches into the second floor. This exhibit also contains other dinosaur-related pieces, including a sabretooth skull, a fossil, and dinosaur eggs. The first floor also features a geology section, which displays an array of quartz, geodes, and stalagmites.
The museum’s second floor explores the wonders of space with a detailed solar system model, a diorama of a space base, and a map of a rocket’s projected orbit. The roof contains the curator’s office memoirs and a telescope for viewing stars.
The LEGO Icons Natural History Museum Set will be available for purchase on Dec. 1 at LEGO Stores and specialty retailers.
