Description

A skeleton takes centre stage

The ground floor houses the set's centrepiece: an assembled dinosaur skeleton, built the way a real natural history hall might display one. Above it sit further exhibition rooms, a library and supporting spaces, stacked across several storeys into a believable museum building. The columned facade and front steps borrow from classical museum architecture found in cities across Europe. If you enjoy interior detailing, this set offers far more small scenes than the usual kitchens and living rooms you'd find elsewhere in the range.

Number nine on the street

Since Café Corner launched the Modular Buildings line back in 2007, each new release has been designed to sit comfortably alongside the last on a shared street. Natural History Museum is the ninth entry and keeps to the collection's standard footprint, so it lines up directly with earlier buildings. Compared with the shops and restaurants that dominate the range, though, its museum theme gives the street a genuine change of pace. For anyone already running a row of Modular Buildings, it fills a gap the collection hadn't covered before.

A cooler colour palette

Olive green, white, tan and dark grey define the facade, a deliberately cooler palette than the warm brick and timber tones used on most other street buildings. That green, paired with pale stonework, gives the model a civic, institutional feel, exactly what you'd expect from a public building, while dark grey structures the window frames, roofline and finer detail. The choice makes the museum work as a standalone display piece too, not only as part of a full street. If you only plan to build one entry from the series, this is a facade that holds its own.

Where the 681 unique parts go

4,015 pieces across 681 unique parts make this one of the most part-rich buildings in the collection, and it shows most in the interior. Display cases, exhibits, stairwells and small props add variety that goes well beyond wall construction. The full parts list on this page breaks that variety down in detail, which is useful if you're hunting for specific pieces to modify the build or extend the street further. For a build spread over several sessions, that level of detail gives you plenty to work with.
