Museum Break-in Reviews
Brickset
“If you liked 2011's Bank, you're going to like this one. The exterior of the building is among their best. It has vines along the side and 2 supporting columns on the front with banners on them, much like a real museum. The detail on the top is great. They used the... More micorfigures as little statues which would, once again be found on a real museum There are 2 skylights on the ceiling, which can make for an entry or exit.”

“The dual narrative of museum preservation and a thrilling break-in stirs the imagination. It's packed with numerous well-designed elements, from the museum artifacts to the police vehicles. Plus, the included minifigures, both thieves and police, elevate the potential for... More intricate storytelling and display. It's an investment that offers not just a building experience, but a piece of a broader narrative. Definitely a worthwhile acquisition for any LEGO aficionado.”
