PIECE OF PEACE, World heritage exhibit built with LEGO\u00ae Brick is a project that was created to bring our world heritage closer to people, adults and children alike, so they can enjoy the wonders of our world, in line with the theme for the National Federation of UNESCO Associations in Japan.<\/p>\n
It features famous sights in Japan like Kyoto\u2019s Kinkakuji Temple and Itsukushima Jinja Shrine in Hiroshima, as well as treasures from overseas like the Taj Mahal (India), West Minster Abbey (England), Machu Pichu (Peru), and more!
\nIt\u2019s truly incredible how these masterpieces of architecture and human engineering have been recreated with tiny little blocks!<\/p>\n

Amazing, isn\u2019t it?
\nThe LEGO\u00ae World Heritage Sites first started making their rounds in Japan in 2003 and by 2013 they began their world tour. At this point, approximately 3.7 million people worldwide have viewed these elaborate recreations of World Heritage Sites.
\nAnd the exhibit at Shinsaibashi PARCO marks the end of their incredibly long 18 year journey. It feels a bit bittersweet to know that this is goodbye, but I\u2019m happy to see these works of art one last time. And there are some exhibits that are totally new to Osaka!<\/p>\n
\u25a0Visit World Heritage Sites right here in Osaka<\/h2>\n
The PIECE OF PEACE, World heritage exhibit built with Lego\u00ae Brick exhibit features World Heritage Sites from around the globe in 35 different countries. All 65 displays are built entirely of Lego\u00ae bricks and 18 of them are on display for the first time in Osaka.
\nHere are just a few of the highlights…
\n![\"Lego](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pofp-shinsaibashi-parco-img17.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
This huge reconstruction of the Sagrada Fam\u00edlia is still under construction, just like the original! Plans were set to complete this masterpiece on the centenary of the architect, Antoni Gaud\u00ed\u2019s death in 2026. It remains to be seen if it will actually be completed. The LEGO\u00ae version has actually been redone as work on the actual basilica has progressed.<\/p>\n

\n \u25b2The piece is about 1 meter tall. This is what it looks like from the below.
\n![\"Details](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pofp-shinsaibashi-parco-img07.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Look up close and you can see all the details.
\nIt\u2019s really an amazingly precise representation of this already elaborate piece of architecture.<\/p>\n
![\"Kyoto's](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pofp-shinsaibashi-parco-img08.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
And here we are in beautiful Kyoto, at Kiyomizudera Temple.
\nThe famous stage and wooden scaffolding that holds it in place.
\nThis perspective really gives you an idea of the slope that it\u2019s built on and the stonework around it.<\/p>\n
![\"Kiyomizudera](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pofp-shinsaibashi-parco-img09.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
The stage is also remarkably true to the original with so much detail.
\nThe entire display is built from 35,000 pieces and weighs an impressive 100 kg.
\nApparently it took 31 days to complete, just for this one display.
\nAnd wait, there\u2019s more!<\/p>\n
![\"Great](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pofp-shinsaibashi-parco-img10.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
This is the Great Barrier Reef (Australia) exhibit. And you can actually go inside it! It\u2019s like diving into a sea made completely of LEGO\u00ae bricks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The fish look like they\u2019re actually swimming and many of the bricks in this display are at least partially translucent.
\nIt is fun to pop your head inside the exhibit, but to be honest it seems to be designed for children since you have to crouch down a bit. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
And there are 9 different designs from the Nazca and Palpa Lines (Peru). It features some of the more famous markings like the spider, the heron, and the hands.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
You can actually walk on the acrylic panels and view the artworks from above, almost like a bird\u2019s-eye-view of the real geoglyphs.<\/p>\n
There is really so much to see from India to France and all around the world.
\nThe level of detail with which these huge sites have been recreated on a smaller scale is astounding. I hope you can visit the exhibit and take a world tour of some of humanity\u2019s most treasured locations right here in Shinsaibashi. <\/p>\n
\u25a0 Satellite exhibit and stamp rally <\/h2>\n
The main exhibition space is on the 14th floor of Shinsaibashi PARCO in the PARCO EVENT HALL, but there are a few other satellite exhibits. Displays can be seen in the PARCO Basement 1st, 6th, 13th, and 14th floors, plus inside Daimaru Shinsaibashi and Daimaru Umeda. There are some truly breathtaking pieces. <\/p>\n
![\"Shurijo](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pofp-shinsaibashi-parco-img14.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Okinawa\u2019s Shurijo Castle!<\/p>\n
It was originally a recreation of the main citadel, but other structures have been added. Tragically, their was a massive fire in 2019, which destroyed a large part of the castle and its courtyard structures, but they are being rebuilt.<\/p>\n
![\"Shurijo](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pofp-shinsaibashi-parco-img15.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
As a part of the reconstruction effort, Daimaru Shinsaibashi has a special corner of the 9th floor dedicated to supporting the Shurijo BUILD PROJECT.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also a stamp rally so if you visit the various satellite exhibitions and gather enough stamps you can get a small prize like a pin or LEGO\u00ae mini-figure.
\nVisit the various satellite exhibitions, gather your stamps and bring them back to the 14th floor of PARCO to claim your prize.
\nYou\u2019ll need to submit you stamped paper and prizes are available only while supplies last.<\/p>\n
