Robert8 Posted September 19, 2015 WHAT THE ?? That looks awesome. And that's a pretty decent Pope minifigure But strictly talking, this is just St. Peter's square and Basilica. Vatican is the whole country Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6ix Posted September 19, 2015 But strictly talking, this is just St. Peter's square and Basilica. Vatican is the whole country Yeah, but the country isn't much bigger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bullet8542 Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Yeah, but the country isn't much bigger Yeah, but the country isn't much bigger True !! I have been there a couple of times and it's an amazing place lots of beautiful art works and history (both good and bad) but small it the larger scheme of things. I really like the fact I am seeing a Lego building with a red roof reminds me of my sets from when I was a kid.

Only Sinner Posted September 20, 2015 "Simon's Lego Vatican is going on display at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, where Pope Francis is scheduled to take part in the World Meeting of Families on Sept. 26 and Sept. 27. It coincides with the museum's new Vatican Splendorsexhibit, which showcases significant objects from the Catholic Church's history. " I would very much like to see this exhibit, my family would be interested to see the other Vatican Splendors too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AFOLguy1970 Posted September 20, 2015 It would be something if the Pope stopped to view the Lego display and there was a picture taken of him holding that minifigure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
