The LEGO Group will open its first and only U.S. Manufacturing plant near Richmond, Virginia following this exhibition
This fall, the Virginia Museum of History & Culture (VMHC) Will open its galleries to a 23.5-foot-long Titanic replica, a 10-foot-tall skyrocket, a 6.5-foot-long Boeing 747 and more than 100 other model vehicles constructed from nearly 1 million LEGO® bricks. “Traveling Bricks,” on view Oct. 19, 2024-Jan. 5, 2025, invites guests to explore the wonders of transportation history through replicas of iconic land, air, sea and space vehicles. The presentation at VMHC marks the exhibition’s continental U.S. debut and precedes the LEGO Group’s opening of its first and only U.S. manufacturing plant.
“Traveling Bricks is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the opening of the first U.S. LEGO facility in Virginia,” said Jamie Bosket, president and CEO at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture. “This exhibition brings together two beloved aspects of life — LEGO bricks and Virginia’s rich history — to create a captivating experience for guests of all ages.”
