This museum is both a source of education to promote history to youths, as well as a work of art in its beautiful design and how it represents various artifacts or details in the micro scale. The Greek-inspired architecture is a nice touch to any LEGO city, but it also stands alone as a marvelous show piece, with plenty of opportunities present within the set to jumpstart creativity within a playful mind. Even though the museum isn’t packed with displays this allows anyone to customize the set to offer even more historical artifacts, replicas, and models.
The kit is enjoyable so far. Like most other kits I've done recently it is missing blocks. Also, I have found at least one instance where the online build instructions differ from the manual.
I loved this set, I think the build details are absolutely fantastic on the roof and outdoor landscape. The rest of the building was quite lackluster and repetitive. The addition of the child and handicapped mother mini figures were a very nice surprise.
My one major gripe is with the technical writer of the instructions - they provided minimal details with respect to the museum displays (I have no clue what many displays are), character backstories (ex. who was the man on the park bench, what was his tale?), there was no feature on the creator of the design (how and why was this created), and the number of parts per page (PPP) varied from assembling two parts to 30-something - the PPP should be more consistent. I like the technical instructions where they give me a ton of information, these instructions may as well have been generated by some lackluster AI because they gave me nothing.
I would recommend this to a friend!
