August is National Inventors Month. To celebrate, the National Museum of American History built a giant light bulb model out of LEGO bricks on August 3. Museum visitors worked with LEGO Master Builders to assemble the multicolored model. The light bulb is 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall and contains over 300,000 bricks! Get LEGO tips from a LEGO Master Builder on National Geographic Kids.

That is so cool, I bet that they had to use at least a million LEGOs!
I love collecting legos and I don't even have 300,000 lego bricks.
