Largest-Ever American Flag, Made Entirely of Legos

How many Legos—and people—did it take to build this 9-foot-tall red, white, and blue beauty? Check out this video.

Just in time for the Fourth of July, LEGO Master Builders and visitors to Smithsonian National Museum of American History this week built the largest-ever American flag—and it only took 100,000 Lego blocks.

Designed by father-son duo and LEGO Master Builders Dan and Chris Steininger, the flag stands 9.5-feet tall and 14-feet wide.

The flag was designed in celebration of the museum’s new Innovation Wing. Check out this time lapse of the flag’s construction.
