LEGO Earth	Exhibit: LEGO Earth is a foldable map that transforms into a globe! Learn more, or vote to make this local creation an official set at bit.ly/LEGOearth. Unique elements such as the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor, the Eiffel Tower in France, and a red snake posing as the Great Wall of China add character on the continental plates. Enjoy seeing your favorite food elements posing as islands in southeast Asia, but beware of the erupting Hawaiian volcanoes in the Pacific. Model builders will be taken by the ocean currents and accurate portrayal of real-world geography. Based on the foldable dymaxion map projection designed by two architects, R. Buckminster Fuller and Shoji Sadao, the map emphasizes the land bridges that connect the continents rather than the oceans that separate us. However, it is most loved for its artistically unique shape and its ability to transform into a globe. Learn more at bit.ly/LEGOearth
