I think my favorite part about this museum is that its relatively muted (perhaps even "boring") on the outside, leading people to ask "did you just build a box out of bricks?" but then you open it up and it has a TON of cool stuff inside. I am a huge fan if very small elements of this set which use clever approaches to make interesting items out of small bricks, like, for example, the pterodactyl skeleton suspended from the ceiling.Best of all, the design elements that make it seem like modernist architecture, are also the levers/etc that are required to open it up for closer inspection. It really is an original, inspired, design for a brick model. I enjoyed building it and displaying it. Key to this is the fact that it is extremely dense and compact due to its "architectural" layout.Just to be clear though, this is definitely an advanced set for experienced brick builders.

I was surprised just how heavy this set was when it arrived, so many pieces! But it's a good display piece as recreation of the real museum. The bricks are well made and compatible with name brand bricks, and everything was easy to follow in the instruction book.

This was so fun to build. And it looks great. The floors come out of the building so you can take a closer look at each level. I only had a few places that the building blocks come apart, mainly the trees. I fixed the problem by gluing those pieces together. The instructions are easy to follow. I love that they have numbered bags so you don't have to open all of the bags up at the beginning. This way makes it more manageable. My only complaint is that some of the colors of the bricks do not match the color in the book. You can see in my last picture, the brown in the book is much darker then the brown of the blocks. Other than that, it was a fun build and I love the final project.

This is a truly excellent building set. The details are amazing; it really feels like a lot of the natural history museums I've been to. I love the dinosaur exhibit and the gem mineral exhibit. I had so much fun putting the exhibits together. There were plenty of extra pieces, which was really helpful, and the instruction book includes some information about the design process. I am so happy I bought this to work on with my partner; it really made us feel like we were museum curators for a little bit.

I have said it in other reviews but it bears repeating: Nifeliz makes incredible sets. This one, of a museum, is incredible. It was slightly challenging to put together, particularly the outside as you assemble large sections that are then pressed to the sides. But it never got frustrating. The bags are organized in a way to make it easy to do just a bit at a time. And they never have stickers to apply. Any piece that in other sets would have a sticker is instead already printed with the design on the brick. Great set and my son loves having it decorating his dresser.
