Louvre Reviews
Brick Fanatics
“We start with the base layout, followd by the old part of the building. This is filled with lots of character and hidden detail you'll discover as the build rises from the ground. As we move onto the forecourt we add the glass panels and then the amazing glass pyramid. The... More techinque used to create this structure is simply stunning and I really appreciated how the set finished with one of the highlights of the build.”
“LEGO Architecture Louvre set is a nice addition to the LEGO Architecture line, and a good representation of the original building. It is also an excellent source of rare parts and colors that you might want to take advantage of.”

“While every LEGO architecture set is an insta-buy for me (I have every model in the series), this is the 2015 set that I am most excited about. I love the challenge of capturing a more ornate Architectural style using LEGO bricks, and the result is excellent. The model is... More immediately recognizable.”
