The four complete murals will then be displayed at LEGO House in Billund from 23 August 2023. There is also an opportunity to create a LEGO castle window online at or visit a local LEGO Store to take part in LEGO Disney building activities (visit for more details). The three remaining murals will be available for families to build together at free events on July 7-9 near the LEGO Store, Paris July 14-16 at the Manchester Arndale and July 27-29 at Pier 17, Seaport in New York. LEGO's new Disney Castle set was launched alongside the reveal of a mural titled 'Kaleidowaves' The murals feature some of their favourite Disney characters from the last 100 years including Mickey Mouse, Cinderella, Woody, Ariel, Tiana, Mirabel, Buzz Lightyear and Daisy Duck, who also now feature in LEGO Disney sets, surrounded by the artists’ own unique style. Lakwena’s design is part of a series of four murals created with two other artists that were inspired by Disney as children, Paris-based Amy Jones and US-based artist Kristin Texeira. The idea of magical possibilities that Disney captures so well definitely had a big impact on my imagination as a child, and has therefore informed my adult work and life as an artist.” And now, with my young family, films like The Lion King offer a nice way for me to talk to my children about our ancestral homeland. Later, when living in the UK, I also remember visiting my uncle in the Ashdown Forest, which inspired Winnie the Pooh, and we would play Pooh Sticks on Pooh Bridge. Lakwena said: “When I lived in Ethiopia as a child in the 90s, there wasn’t access to many films, so we would watch Disney videos on repeat. The Kaleidowaves mural was unveiled in London with Lakwena’s children, Aroko aged four and Makelo aged six, placing the last of the mural’s 220,000 LEGO bricks in place. To celebrate the launch of the new LEGO Disney Castle and honour 100 years of Disney, London based artist Lakwena Maciver has unveiled her latest artwork, Kaleidowaves, a 4.5m tall castle window inspired by the new LEGO set.
