Boston 2026 World Expo

NELUG Bringing Interactive Display to Stamp Show


General

LEGO mosaic rendition of a stamp featuring a colonial midnight rider with the words World Stamp Show Boston 2026 Forever Visitors to the Boston 2026 World Expo will find a unique intersection of philately and brick building when the New England LEGO Users Group (NELUG) presents a major LEGO® display during the international stamp exhibition.

NELUG will occupy an exhibition space of nearly 4,000 square feet, creating one of the largest themed displays on the show floor. The area will feature a wide range of custom LEGO models and interactive elements designed to celebrate both mail and creativity.

Among the highlights will be postal-themed LEGO creations, including builds inspired by post offices, mail transportation and the history of postal communication. A special section will also showcase LEGO as it appears on postage stamps from around the world, highlighting how the iconic brick has been celebrated in philately by numerous postal administrations.

A centerpiece of the display will be a large Boston skyline mosaic built entirely from LEGO bricks, paying tribute to the host city of the exhibition.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to participate in a hands-on community mosaic build during the entire show. Attendees will help assemble two large collaborative mosaics: one depicting the Boston 2026 World Expo stamp, and another featuring the 2026 United States Happy Birthday stamp design. Participants will be invited to place bricks that gradually bring these images to life over the course of the weekend.

Additional activities are planned throughout the LEGO display area. A special commemorative postcard created for the exhibit will be distributed to visitors, and collectors will be able to visit a brick-themed handstamp station, where the postcard can be postmarked as a souvenir of the event.

Support for the exhibit is being provided Boston 2026 with coordination by Scott Stamp LLC, publisher of the Scott catalogs, Linn’s Stamp News and Scott Stamp Monthly. (https://scottstamp.com/)

The Boston 2026 World Expo, an international philatelic exhibition sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie (FIP), will take place May 23–30, 2026, at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. (http://boston2026.org/)
