Tested by gurtner82: The Guggenheim Museum by Lego

Translation: machine translated
Every month we give away a new Lego product. This time gurtner82 has won the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum from Lego Architecture. This is his test report.
I have to admit, I don't have any children and don't fall into the classic age group of Lego users. Nevertheless, I am a big fan of these building sets. If I ever have children, they will certainly (have to 😉) play with Lego too. I was therefore delighted to receive an email from Galaxus telling me that I had won the New York Guggenheim Museum. So I jumped on the next plane straight away and flew to New York - you want to prepare thoroughly for a project like this. 😉
Back from New York, the parcel was already at the post office ready for collection. I have to admit, I was looking forward to putting together another Lego set. The first positive surprise was the packaging, clearly not designed for 6 to 12-year-olds, but simple, classic and "grown-up". Inside were a bunch of little bags (were there always so many?) and underneath was a smart book with almost 170 pages. On the first pages are pictures and the story of the original and the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The following pages are the familiar building plan, interspersed with short anecdotes about the building. As you would expect from Lego, the building plan is flawless.
The base plate is quickly assembled and, to my astonishment, quite small. The whole thing measures just 19x14x12 cm and is therefore also suitable for people without their own playroom. The set comprises a total of 744 parts (of which it feels like 50% are the small 1x1 tiles 😉). Even inexperienced builders can assemble the set in just a few hours. Nevertheless, you shouldn't be too rough around the edges, it really is a delicate model.
Conclusion
A really nice model that takes some time to build and at the same time requires little space. Clearly not intended as a children's toy, this is really something for adults who haven't quite recovered from Lego fever or perhaps want to indulge in nostalgia once again. I have to admit, the model is a great souvenir for our trip to New York, which actually took place right now. Now I just need the New York skyline and New York will be complete. @Galaxus: don't you need another test of this? 😉
