34 LEGO History Lessons

Toy Sculptures Teach Social Awareness, Pop Culture and Architecture

— March 1, 2009 — Pop Culture
The abundance of incredible LEGO historical builds covered at TrendHunter.com gives me the sneaking suspicion that these toys will soon take over the world.

The selections below prove that we’re no longer relegated to LEGO builds that make just a house, fort or forest. These extreme LEGO builds cover the Bible, Formula 1 racing, contemporary politics, haute fashion, and Stephen Hawking. Naturally, there are some offensive LEGO builds in this cluster, but nothing too cheeky.
