LEGO House’s new gallery brings 17 personal stories of home into bricks
A temporary exhibition gives LEGO designers and colleagues room to explore journeys, family memories and holiday traditions.
A new chapter at the top of LEGO House
Masterpiece Gallery has a different group of exhibitors for the final months of 2026. Opening September 25, the special edition brings together creations by 17 LEGO designers and colleagues, with home, togetherness, journeys and holiday traditions as their shared starting points. LEGO House says the display will remain until the end of the year.
For visitors, the interesting invitation is to look beyond the professional job titles. These are personal models about places, memories and celebrations. The exhibition gives each builder room to interpret a common brief in a way that reflects their own experience.
Different homes produce very different models
Lee Magpili’s Kumikutikutitap na Parol draws on Filipino illuminated star lanterns. Owen Davis’s Ozzie Christmas swaps a snowy setting for an Australian summer. Isabelle van Vleuten’s Friends Since 1989 reunites classic Pirates characters and incorporates elements from her childhood collection.
Those examples suggest a useful way to approach the room: notice how the builder establishes a place, then look for the smaller detail that makes it personal. The same holiday theme can lead to different colors, climates and characters. There is no single visual recipe for feeling at home.
The fan gallery will return in 2027
LEGO House has described this as a temporary edition. Its September visitor update says the gallery will return to showcasing the global adult fan community when the attraction reopens in early 2027, its tenth-anniversary year. That distinction is helpful when comparing this autumn’s display with photographs of earlier exhibitions.
If a particular model is the reason for a trip, check the current exhibition information and opening calendar before making plans. An older gallery feature can be a wonderful record of a builder’s work without describing what is still in the room today.
Take a small idea back to your own building table
Our suggestion is to choose one memory rather than attempt an entire holiday scene at once. It might be a familiar window, a meal being prepared, a bag waiting by the door or the view on a journey home. Ask which object makes that memory recognizable to you.
Then try building it twice at different sizes. A smaller version forces choices about what matters most; a larger version allows another detail to enter the story. The gallery’s appeal is the range of possible answers. A shared theme can bring builders together while leaving plenty of room for each person’s voice.
