Part of a bigger creative moment at LEGO House 

Last week, on 17 September 2025, LEGO House opened the world’s first and only LEGO® Masters Academy, a separate-ticket, studio-style experience where kids and adults learn real building techniques and take their creations home.  

The new Masterpiece Gallery complements this hands-on journey by showing what’s possible when skill and imagination meet.
