February What's On

Here is our roundup of exciting events taking place in Edinburgh this month:

LEGO® Exhibition: The fantastic National Museum of Scotland has opened its doors to the world of LEGO® this month. The exhibition, titled “BUILD IT! Adventures with LEGO® Bricks”, includes a host of interesting models from close to home as well as intricate models of the Lincoln Memorial, Brazil’s infamous Christ the Redeemer and The Chinese Gate, to name but a few. All of the models have been carefully crafted by Lego artist Warren Elsmore and the exhibition, which is proving very popular already, runs until Sunday 17th of April and is completely free of charge.
