Legoland's Boston Public Library Replica Unveiled

The replica will be on display at the library until Saturday, April 5.

A Lego replica of the Boston Public Library was unveiled Friday at the library.

The replica library will be on display there until Saturday, April 5, before it moves to its permanent home at Legoland Discovery Center Boston in Somerville’s Assembly Row.

The landmark won a contest to be featured in the center’s “miniland,” beating out such beloved spots as Faneuil Hall, Fenway Park and the Old State House, among others.
