Paris, France, will be the center of the world in 2024. The city is hosting the Summer Olympics this year for the third time in its history while also opening the doors of its iconic cathedral, Notre Dame, once again after it was renovated following a devastating fire in 2019.

Toymaker LEGO recently decided to celebrate Paris and it’s big 2024 with two new sets: Notre-Dame de Paris and Mona Lisa.

Notre-Dame de Paris set contains 4,383 pieces and allows LEGO enthusiasts to craft a faithful brick recreation of the cathedral as it was before the fire. It costs $229.99 at the official LEGO online store and is currently available for pre-order, with shipments beginning in early June.

“The set lets you recreate authentic details, like the bell towers, rose windows, and the central spire surrounded by statues. You can even remove the roof and towers to view the interior columns and arches inside,” says LEGO about the set.

Mona Lisa set, on the other hand, recreates the famous Leonardo Da Vinci painting in 3D alongside a golden frame. Consisting of 1,503 pieces, which is a reference to the year the painting was started, this recreation is using the lighter hue in order to capture the painting’s original color from 500 years ago. The set comes at a price of $99.99 and starts shipping in October.

Most LEGO enthusiasts have piles of old plastic bricks that are leftovers from various projects. Finding ideas to use them can be quite challenging, which is why a group of programmers built an app called Brickit.

Brickit is an artificial intelligence-powered app that helps you make new creations with old LEGOs. With the help of your smartphone camera, the app scans the entire pile of LEGO pieces you have at your disposal and identifies them. Then, it provides several ideas on how to use your bricks with detailed instructions.

“We love building, and we love tech, so we made Brickit — an app that scans jumbles of bricks and helps you turn them into starships, dragonflies, pineapples wearing sunglasses, and whatever else you can imagine,” the developers state.

The basic version of the Brickit app is free and available on iOS and Android smartphones. It can recognize around 100 most common LEGO bricks and comes with a database of more than 2,000 ideas. There is also a premium version that can recognize more than 1,600 different types of LEGO pieces.
