Lego Exhibition

As part of the Culture Night celebrations in Blanchardstown Library, there will be a Lego Exhibition from the Irish Lego User Group. The Lego models are designed by members of Lug.ie, a free-to-join community for Adult Fans of LEGO (AFOLs) across the island of Ireland, which is one of only two "Recognised Communities" by the Lego group in the country. Lug.ie is a forum for LEGO fans to share their ideas, builds, news and meetup online and in person.  We also exhibit some of our own creations (MOCs) at events around Ireland.
