I love LEGO. Not only do I enjoy building LEGO sets, but I even saw the exhibition The Art of the Brick in New York back in 2013. I took my younger brother to LEGOLAND many years ago and had a great time. Don’t judge me. Join me! Building LEGO sets is fun, crafty, and can even be technical. It’s a relaxing tactile activity that unleashes creativity and imagination. The LEGO company, founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen, is big on play. In my opinion, adults need to incorporate play into their lives. LEGO recognizes this and has many sets catered to adults. So, I’ve compiled this ultimate LEGO gift guide for history and art lovers. I’ve also included some book and movie-related LEGO sets in here, because why not?
Go on…get our LEGO on.
LEGO History Sets
Let’s kick off this LEGO gift guide by taking a step back in time to build historic and vintage objects. Bring Leonardo da Vinci’s flying machine to life. Build a Pac-Man arcade and a Polaroid camera. Construct a medieval village and build your own vintage car. History buffs, you’ll love these iconic LEGO sets.
LEGO Art Sets
Tap into your inner artist and recreate some of the world’s most famous artworks. Get your hands on Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Robert Indiana’s LOVE, Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night, and Hokusai’s The Great Wave off Kanagawa, among others.
Lego Architecture Sets
Build architectural wonders and skylines from around the world. Famous works of architecture include Notre-Dame de Paris, the Pyramids of Giza, the Trevi Fountain, the White House, and the Statue of Liberty. Cityscapes include New York, Paris, London, and Singapore.
Lego Book and Movie Sets
With LEGO, you can bring books to life and recreate movie scenes. If you’re a fan of Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Hocus Pocus, Star Wars, or Lord of the Rings, these sets are for you. I received a couple of these as Christmas gifts and now proudly display my handiwork around my home.
