LEGO exhibit

The Mayborn Museum Complex in Waco is hosting a LEGO Castle exhibit over the summer. A sweet friend suggested we meet there and my boys threatened to disown me if I said no.



A castle siege. I love the orange boiling oil being poured down the wall onto the attackers.

This was a scene designed and built by a thirteen year old boy. Can you see the admiration in The Professor's eyes?

There were areas to learn about real knights and castles and even a jousting arena. Cool doesn't even begin to describe it!

  1. We visited the Mayborn on the way home from our vacation. We LOVED that exhibit. I really liked that the girls enjoyed it as much as the boys.

  3. A friend and I were just talking about this. We've heard about it since last May and still haven't had the chance to get down there. From you pictures...we may have to add this to our summer bucket list.
