EXHIBIT 01FROM WOODEN TOY TO SHARED LANGUAGE
A system for imagination
The brick did not begin as an icon. It became one through repetition, precision, and the radical idea that today’s pieces should still connect with yesterday’s. These objects turn the company, its tools, and its most familiar forms into subjects worthy of building.

EXHIBIT 06TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF MAGIC
The wizarding world, rebuilt
Harry Potter models have repeatedly returned to the same places, characters, and symbols. The fascination lies in watching scale, color, parts, and building technique change while the world remains unmistakably itself.

From pixels to pieces
Early video games built enormous worlds from severe limits: a grid of pixels, a few buttons, and just enough motion to let imagination finish the scene. These models translate that digital language into a physical one. Flat sprites gain depth, controllers become brick-built objects, and movements once calculated by a console are recreated with gears, cranks, and cams.

EXHIBIT 16FIFTEEN YEARS OF SPINJITZU · STORY · LEGACY
NINJAGO Across Generations
NINJAGO began in 2011 with four ninja, a patient teacher, elemental weapons, and a new form of spinning play. It could have remained one adventure. Instead, serialized storytelling allowed its characters to grow while dragons, mechs, temples, cities, villains, and entire realms continually rebuilt the world around them. By its fifteenth anniversary, NINJAGO had become LEGO’s longest-running homegrown entertainment world—a theme old enough for one generation to introduce it to the next. This collection tells that story through the complete group of seven golden minifigures made for the tenth anniversary, the character and legacy figures created for the fifteenth, and two displays that turn those milestones into one family portrait.
