Building a tiny Lego flower is already enough to leave you with a crick in the neck and strained eyes. Now, imagine a mural made up of a whopping 265,743 Lego bricks – that’s exactly what you’ll find at the Stamford Gallery in the National Museum of Singapore.
In celebration of Singapore’s 60th birthday, Lego has created an enormous mural featuring a vibrant row of nostalgic shophouses that reflect the charm of 1960s Singapore. Spot the national flower, a retro SBS bus and all the other nostalgic touches that bring old-school Singapore to life in plastic brick form.
The exhibition also features a large-scale 3D Hawkerman model surrounded by beloved Singaporean landmarks such as the Changi Airport Control Tower and bumboats cruising along the Singapore River. You’ll also find intricate recreations of local dishes like Hainanese chicken rice, chilli crab, and everyone’s favourite breakfast combination: kaya butter toast with soft-boiled eggs.
While you’re there, check out the Lego Make & Take station where you can build your very own mini Lego orchid to take home as a fun keepsake.
The SG60 Lego exhibition runs from July 18 to August 9, 2025, at the National Museum of Singapore’s Stamford Gallery. Admission is free. More information can be found here.
