During National Inventors’ Month 2009, the Lemelson Center and LEGO Systems, Inc., hosted a two-day collaborative build of an eight-foot-tall lightbulb made entirely of LEGO bricks at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. The universal symbol of a big idea, the lightbulb was assembled by Museum visitors with the help of LEGO master builders. It weighed 400 pounds and was made up of 300,000 LEGO bricks!
Here's a time-lapse video of the giant bulb as it was built!
