The Wright stuff with toys

To mark the 150th anniversary of Frank Lloyd Wright's birth, Danish toymaker Lego has produced a scale model of the American architect's final masterpiece.

New York City’s Solomon R Guggenheim Museum marked Frank Lloyd Wright's final design before his death in 1959 – and who better than Lego to bring the building into homes around the world? The model captures in detail the curves and distinctive lines that made Wright’s design one of New York's best known (and most polarising) landmarks. It even features a couple of yellow cabs plying their trade on the adjacent Fifth Avenue.

With more than 740 pieces, the model is quite a challenge – Lego rates its difficulty as 12+. The Solomon R Guggenheim Museum is available for $80 on the Lego.com store.
