With the Brachiosaurus, I actually quite like the look of the grey clips. In the real world when they put up dinosaur bones they need something to connect them, as bones mostly don't fully connect, making the grey clips accurate.

You are so insanely good at filming lego sets. When I watch reviews from others, I always feel like I’m missing some things, but never in your video.

As a massive fan of Lego, palaeontology and space this feels like a match made in heaven

Something I like about this set is that it is one building rather than a large building with smaller ones on the sides like the police station or the boutique hotel

1. I absolutely love this set. 2. I love the colour scheme of the building. 3. I find the colours of the tree and banners to clash with the building and I wonder if this is part of the reason why people are divided on the colour scheme. 4. Thank you SO much for showing it on it's own without any of the mini figures, banners or tree blocking it - it shows how stunning the building is and I think I have to buy it now!!

I like to imagine the grey on the skeleton to be the cement that holds it together

I didn’t even know a prosthetic leg element existed! I’m a wheelchair user and professional adaptive athlete who pushes for diversity in everything I do, and having LEGO one of my favorite brands make something g like that really makes me happy :)

That boxed finish to the windows you did to fix that unfunished feel was absolutely perfect!

this was my very first modular and by far the biggest Lego set I've ever gotten and I could not be happier! I loved science and Lego growing up, and this set brought back so many good memories from the natural history museum in DC, which I loved when I lived in Virginia. I loved all the detailed exhibits and appreciated all the little explanations in the instructions! it felt like exploring a real museum with simplified plaques. 10/10!

Haven't bought a lego set in decades (growing older, no space, budget, etc.), but I watch every video Tiago puts out. Love his passion and the high production value of the videos. I feel all the fun as if I have the sets in front of me.

Great review! I love how you actually showed your suggestions for modifications and how you showed the building technique for the stairs and fence--very helpful. I also appreciated seeing the curved roof windows as separate elements as I am not familiar with that piece. This looks like a fabulous modular building.

10:21 that little spin showed the depth of the building better than I've seen from any pictures so far. I like when these buildings aren't just mostly flat on the front, but have depth, parts that jut in and parts that stick out

I absolutely love this building, my favorite currently is the jazz club because of its fantastic colors and pleasant design, but for a museum I think this is nearly flawless! I feel like a tan or grey color choice would be way to boring so I think the still neutral olive works great, but I can’t wait to pick this one up

I think the grey hinges for the brachiosaur, with the apparent black stand, is a good detail addition. Makes it credible as in real life exhibitions, where joints are reinforced with steel, and a stand poses the skeleton.

Top quality reviews Tiago. I really appreciate the extra effort to make this reviews more entertaining and informative 👏🏼

The attention to detail is amazing. The designer's ability to tell a lottle story and include so many details is very enjoyable.

I wish it was either all tan or dark tan or hell a combination of the two. The green colour makes no sense. Whenever people think of a natural history museum, most would associate that building being a beige colour. Here's hoping it'll be easy to colour swap since the building techniques that went into creating the museum itself remains very impressive imo.

0:36 Legos color quality/consistency dipped hard. Those wall bricks all have different tones

I really wish I had $300 to spare for this set. It's beautiful, my girlfriend and I are really into museums, and it looks like it would be fun to just mess with on a day to day basis.

I absolutely like your thoughts on the design with the accompanied tricks in your video production 😉

Love the fence technique with the arrows, thats very nice! Also I think the olive green works, Lego Modulars are meant to pop on display and look good on a shelf, grey is realistic, but i get the compromise

this reminds me SO MUCH of the field museum in chicago (which is also a natural history museum) both have a brachiosaurus skeleton the field museum having one of the most famous and most complete skeletons. the field museum also has a geology exhibit and has a similar structure to the set! if your ever in chicago i highly recommend going there

Your editing in this video is so cool, Tiago!

I love the white banana piece usage too!

Nice review! I'm seriously considering this one as a gift to myself. Looking forward to someone integrating the Galileo Galilei set into the museum diorama. Maybe even combining it with the Jane Goodall set.

We need a Ben Stiller minifig in this set 😀

This is seriously awesome!!! Super cool design and I love the interior.

Nit picks - I would also have liked to see the dark tan Brick work represented with the Bullion pieces. I love the way the classic set references match the "history" of the world the museum is set into!

This was underwhelming at first, but really starting to grow on me. I've already preordered it!

Great review! Amazing video and context when comparing with other sets. Realy thank you for decoding all the hidden references from the designer interview. AWSOME WORK

I'm super hyped for this one. Thanks for showing it as part of a modular street as its helping me plan out how I will place it.

Awesome review of an awesome set. I just can't shake the feeling I wish it was coming out Jan 1st

I really like the space this set is giving as well the references i think i will buy it in the near future!

I love the reference to adventures theme, it maches the haunted house, and it is realy nice. I allways love that theme and after these sets were released i was thinking of incorporating the figures in city theme. Pitty is that the museum does not show one item reminding the adventures theme.

This is so cool, I love this set it looks epic, keep revieing it tells me what to buy XD

I just pre ordered mine! I can’t wait. And I just received the Home Alone set a few days ago, it’s amazing! Thank you for all of your reviews and content!

Great review! Best quality video images. And very useful & nice details. Thank you!

yeah! i can agree when you said that the first time you got your first modular building its really hard to stop buying more😂

So many references! So cool

My main criticism when I first saw it is that it's just far too busy on the front. There's just too much clutter making the overall structure look less defined. I probably would not add the window cleaner and I would build the tree at half that height to avoid blocking the banner. Also, I know this wouldn't fit in line with the Modular theme, but I just really wanted the back of this thing to be open so you could directly play with it without taking the entire monstrosity apart. It just looks perfectly made to be played with in a dollhouse configuration, instead of a space-consuming construction project anytime you want to experience the interior.

I love everything about this set except the olive green, but I can get over that. I don't collect modulars; I only have one, the bookshop, but thinking about making this one or the boutique hotel the second. I like that you compared the two at the end.

After my move i may consider picking this one up as my first modular. Its a neat one

I love this modular and will definitely get it myself one day. Might've been good to see how the Dino skeleton compared in size to the Dino skeletons Ideas set from a few years back, if you had it to hand. But, as always, Tiago, great review!

With a little adjustment on the exterior (the glass doors) and lots of interior redesign, this could work as Wayne Manor

I love the combo of bowser and the flower hehe

I absolutely love the look of this, and can't wait to own it. I'm surprised we're getting a modular and a half (like Assembly Square) again so soon. I really thought this would be an "anniversary" thing that we wouldn't see until 2027, so it's a nice surprise. I am curious as to why LEGO is releasing it a month early, effectively giving us two modulars in one year? Maybe this is a new thing, so we have modulars available in time for the holiday season?

6:32 im fairly sure the cray clips are supposed too resemble metal parts holding the bones together

I’m not much into the modular building sets but I really like this one, it looks like it would be a blast to build and come up with ways to display it

I'm planning on buying the Escape from the Lost Tomb set along with this, just so I can Include an Egypt exhibit, the Ark (instead of it being in a box in a warehouse someplace) and, of course, Indy himself. "That belongs in a museum!"

OMG the scratches on the glass door! I like the references to previous sets, that's nice. Also the Galileo set is NOT free -- it's a gift with purchase which means it is INCLUDED in the price of the set. If it were free you can just get it without paying a dime but you get it WITH paying for another set. Don't kid yourself.

Never got the assembly square but this looks like a good substitute!

The downtown diner was my very first modular building I built ❤

I want to like this but really struggle to. It doesn't seem big too me even though it apparently is. The stairs are less substantial than the police station and feels more like a boutique museum than a landmark museum.

Awesome review as always 🌟👑 Your comments about ways to make it better I approve 100% (windows, line between the floors..). I'm not interested in this modular at all (like other themes better) but I have to say that color bother me the most - white or yellow(ish) should suit it much better in my opinion. Design of the Brachiosaurus I dislike too. Rest is cool I guess..

Thanks for the video great as always

It's the first Modulair sets I really like! I will get this one soon, first waiting for some nice GWP offers haha

My gosh, that's a beautiful modular! I love the exterior and the extras as well as the first floor exhibits and especially the skeleton extending to the second floor. However, the floor of the second floor without tiles but studs and the references to old lego themes, which I find useless as exhibits, are major design Flaws. I think there is especially one non-Lego set that has to be compared to this one, Xingbao's maritime museum (I build it). The latter is significantly less expensive while boosting a 20% higher piece count, a third floor, all tiled floors and a more detailed backside. Furthermore, I find the single exhibition theme better. While Xingbao's facade is incredibly detailed, it just feels like "too much" compared to the one of Lego's museum. The former boasts, however, a great ingenious door design.

I feel like the last two modulars have really tiny windows at the front. I think this building would look a little better with double sized windows. Maybe it's the big posters on both sides as they catch more attention than necessary and make the windows look smaller than they actually are. It's a nice looking building overall but as you said at the end, it feels like a standalone set which I am not really sure I like

I think Space wall display is meant to represent the Earth itself (blue water, white ice cap and green land- maybe the Americas? I admit my bias) with the spaceship swooping by as in the Classic Space logo

Apart from a few ‘flaws’, the overall design is simply amazing. Love all the little details.

I agree it looks good on its own. Perhaps put it in the center of a city park.

I really want to make it bigger when I get it. Most of the other modulars don't lend themselves well to upsizing in my opinion, and most examples I've seen just look wrong.

Great review, now I am even more convinced my preorder was correct. Please keep your focused style, not criticizing every small bit. I also like your humour: the designer has never heard of Lego brick pieces... But then you come back with an appraisal for his work!

Man I haven’t used Lego since age 10 but recent sets look amazing

This is the big 18th Bday (now officially past on the 10th!) set, and I’d say this set is great already. I’m limiting myself to 2 bags a day, and my opinion on some aspects is this: I prefer the green coloration, it feels like something I’d come across as a random-ish building in New York City, though a brick red color would also fit well. The more plates I can plop figures out front on, the better. That’s the main issue I have with my two other Modular’s (Fire Brigade and Bookshop), they come with so many figures but no way to display them without toppling over unless you add some plates as modifications.

the grey peices on the skeleton are metal that are holding the bones together

You and Cheesey Studios are my favorite Lego channels

Sand green would have been a colour to satisfy more people. Serious Haunted House vibes from the olive green.

The exhibits inside feel very exposed whereas in a lot of museums everythings either roped off or behind glass. As such it doesnt have the right vibe inside and feels incomplete. The exhibits, whilst i like them dont suit the theme at all. The fact a LEGO designer with access to a much larger array of parts print accessories than I ever would have has designed this set and created such poorly suited exhibits staggers me somewhat. I made my own years ago i had no struggle making appropriate displays with my limited inventory..❤

Pssst - the reason there are gray connector parts on the skeleton is because they are not part of the skeleton. They literally are connectors since thats how real skeletons at museums are held together.

Excelente review como sempre caro Tiago ! Adorei o detalhe do pedaço de queijo e a entrada para o rato :-) Concordo em absoluto com os teus 2 pontos : as janelas inferiores poderiam ter o mesmo acabamento (prefiro essa alternativa do que a tua segunda sugestão). E concordo em absoluto que aquela linha branca e cinza não deveriam estar ali. Como é sabido adoro o story teller por isso este é para mim um ponto alto ! ah...finalmente o detalhe do janitor ser o designer....magnifico ! Tal como referias isto começando não da para parar :-) (e comecei tarde com os modulares.....) Abraço e continuação de boas construções. P.S - ja estou a espera do proximo episodio do podcast e inclusive dei uam sugestão !

This looks and feels like actual LEGO for a change. There's actual care put into the details, the details tell their own stories, references to other sets, interesting building techniques, play features and it can be looked at from all sides?! Are you sure this isn't a MOC?

I hear you, I’ve just finished my first modular and it’s going to be a slippery slope… already bought two more, done a MOC of my own apartment block, and looking for retired modulars. Poor bank account. Also flying to Billund tomorrow so that could get pricey…

Awesome set I'm not sure about the color. I think the main color should have been light nougat with white and maybe other colors as accents Its awesome that it fills up the whole baseplate for the first time in a while IMO the dinosaur takes up too much space, I would probably replace it with something else That's the beauty of the set though, its perfect to customize.

Amazing set!

Excellent another amazing video , keep it up ❤

I usually stick to castle/knights sets and builds, but seeing as how they're insanely lacking, I've gotten into some city stuff lately, and I really want this set

Hey Tiago, I’m wondering what would it take to be a Lego graphic designer for Minifigure’s. I love this set btw.

This set is like a flashback from the history of lego

Thanks for the comprehensive review. I like the colour, but I’m curious to know why you think it would have been difficult to make it in tan? (Sorry if you’ve answered this in an earlier comment)?

Can’t say I’m very impressed. It’s basically a rectangular box with a façade. The last modular I bought was the Boutique Hotel which showed some very impressive building techniques and use of angles.

Hello, this would be a nice complement to my own MOC, a City can have more than one museum. How I would love a school next done in this similar style.

Please make a recap of all the modular building collection, your top 3, just to know where to start this new lego adiction. Ha!

I really like this set very much. I actually wanted to make a moc of a museum so I am glad Lego did one so I don't have to. lol!

Que linda essa construção!!!!!!!😊

I think this is a very plain building. Especially since it is trying to portray a structure that would normally be very ornate.

As the parisian restaurant ist my favorite Modular building I might be a bit biased (because of the color scheme). But very much like it. I especially love that its just one building not 3 with some random thing stuck to the side. It remindes me of the earlier buildings where the houses where just one solid block. Definitely the best modern modular as I didnt like the jazz club nor the Hotel ( just a waste of space with the angle and the whole behind it imo) :)

I wonder if the reason why they used grey parts on the skeleton is to represent the support wires on Museum fossil displays

While not all Grey, the Fire Brigade was mostly grey!

This one is my favorite so far

Love it!!

It's a beautiful building. Personally, I'm fine with the olive green exterior. However, I'd prefer something this wide - 48 studs - to have 3 (or even 4) buildings -- similar to Assembly Square or the Police Station. Not a huge fan of the large, single buildings.

hi tiago just a heads up at timestamp 9:08 it looks to me as if you are missing a couple pieces of the boutique hotel on the top floor front roof next to the windows. but no problem keep up the hard work ♥

I LOVE IT!

Awesome review

Fantastic set just pre oerederd great review

3:44 the museum curator also passes resemblance to the disguised museum curator Krux from ninjago

8:05 I believe that is meant to represent 67p the peanut shaped asteroid

It’s definitely an adventure reference, but I also see a little bit of Krux, aka Dr. Sander Saunders from Ninjago
