The exhibition includes a spaceship inspired by the TIE Fighter from Star Wars, a three-meter Statue of Liberty, scenes from The Chamber of Secrets and The Addams Family, a map of Europe and star constellations, dinosaurs, and the Venus de Milo.

Themed “The Invasion of the Giants,” the exposition boasts 70 premiere models and hundreds of constructions made from nearly 5 million bricks, spanning over a thousand square meters.

Organizer and creator Rafał Szymański described the event as “unprecedented in its scale and ambition”. The tallest structure stands over three meters, while the largest model contains nearly 750,000 bricks. Szymański stressed that all the constructions are new and are being showcased for the first time.

The preparation of these models is a months-long process, involving design, brick acquisition through special auctions across Europe and the world, and assembly.

Currently, eight different LEGO exhibitions are being presented in cities such as Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, and Venice. Each features a unique supermodel; in Rzeszów, this is a three-meter high TIE Fighter-inspired ship built from 250,000 bricks.

The exhibition also includes a massive city model made from nearly 750,000 pieces, filled with various intricate situational scenes. Life-sized characters from Monsters, Inc. and Peter Pan, built to scale, are a major highlight.

Older visitors will appreciate models inspired by films like Avatar, scenes from The Addams Family, Gotham City, and busts of Batman’s adversaries such as Catwoman, The Penguin, and Two-Face. Additionally, the exhibition features large models of both ancient and modern architecture, including the Louvre, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the Eiffel Tower.

Art enthusiasts will find replicas of famous sculptures, like the Venus de Milo, Michelangelo's David, Emperor Octavian Augustus, and Rodin’s Thinker, crafted with vibrant colors.

Visitors can also engage in the creative process at the Fun Park zone, where they can build their own LEGO creations using thousands of bricks and numerous instructions and inspirations provided by the organizers.
