Lego Unveils 128,000-Piece Czech Royal Crown

To mark the 25th anniversary of the launch of its factory in the Czech Republic, Lego has unveiled in Prague a remarkable construction of the Crown of Saint Wenceslas made up of 128,000 pieces. The rendition is a tribute to the original royal insignia made in the 14th century, which has emerged as one of the most vital national symbols of the Czech Republic.

A Remarkable Construction
The full-size crown, showcased over the weekend in Hradčanské Square, near the Royal Castle in Prague, has a weight of about 280 kilograms and is made from about 128,333 Lego bricks. Employees working at Lego's factory located in Kladno, approximately 20 kilometers northwest of Prague, constructed the full-size crown in about 490 hours of labour. In order to ensure safety and stability after the full-size reproductions of the precious diadem had been framed, some metal supports and glue were employed to keep everything secure in transit.

A Show of Heritage and Creativity
The display does not show the other royal insignia, such as the sceptre and orb, but it replicates the wave of colours from the stones embedded in the Crown of Saint Wenceslas. Michaela T. Horáková, general director of the Kladno factory, stated on the opening day that the project was "Danish creativity made concrete by Czech precision and attention to detail," noting a delegation of diplomats from the two countries had been in attendance.

Where to see the Crown
The crown was first in central Prague on Sunday, but during the festive holiday season, it will move for display at the Central Kladno shopping centre until it finds a permanent home to show it to the public.
