The world's largest Lego mural was assembled in Switzerland (3 photos + 1 video) (video)
A new world record for the largest Lego mural was set in Switzerland, creating a massive mural measuring 24 meters long and 2 meters high. 
The record attempt was made in Yverdon-les-Bains in the canton of Vaud last Sunday, December 7. The mural was assembled as part of a charity event raising money for the Telethon Switzerland Foundation.
The giant mural showcases symbolic sites in the region. Although the Guinness Book of World Records has not yet officially recognized the Swiss achievement as a new world record, the participants of the event claim that this is not the main goal, as the goal was to help people. 
By assembling the Lego bricks, people raised at least 20,000 Swiss francs for the Telethon Switzerland Foundation. According to the organizers, the funds will be used to support people with rare genetic diseases.
For two days, donors could purchase 100 Lego bricks at a local establishment for ten francs each and assemble them into a diamond. Volunteers then attached the resulting diamonds to the structure.
To officially receive the title of largest Lego mural, the artwork must first be verified by the Guinness Book of World Records. The organizers and local media have already declared the achievement a world record. 
Similar records have been set before. For example, the world record is currently held by the French city of Brest in Brittany, where a mural was created using 250,000 Lego pieces. Swiss enthusiasts have surpassed this achievement by 50,000 pieces.
