Brick History is a journey into over 50 of the most pivotal moments in world history – recreated in LEGO® bricks.

No one demonstrates the power and versatility of LEGO® better than master modeler Warren Elsmore.

• Prehistory and the Birth of Civilization – The Big Bang, the assassination of Julius Caesar, and the Norman conquest of England.
• Renaissance and the Age of Empire – the invention of the Gutenberg Printing Press, the consecration of the Sistine Chapel and the defeat of the Spanish Armada.
