The exhibition includes a spaceship inspired by the TIE Fighter from Star Wars, a three-meter Statue of Liberty, scenes from Harry Potter and The Addams Family, a detailed map of Europe with star constellations, dinosaurs, and a replica of the Venus de Milo.

Titled “The Invasion of the Giants,” the exhibition features 70 premiere models and hundreds of constructions made from nearly 5 million LEGO bricks, sprawling over a thousand square meters.

Organizer and creator Rafał Szymański described the event as “unprecedented in its scale and ambition.” The tallest structure exceeds three meters, and the largest model – a model of a city – comprises nearly 750,000 pieces.

The preparation of these intricate models is a months-long process, involving meticulous design, brick acquisition through special auctions across Europe and beyond, and painstaking assembly, state news agency PAP reported.

Currently, eight different LEGO exhibitions are being held in cities like Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, and Venice. Each features a unique supermodel; in Rzeszów, this is a three-meter high TIE Fighter-inspired ship built from 250,000 bricks.
