The images on this webpage are from a recent MOC (My Own Creation) idea for a LEGO model, built using the free Lego Digital Designer software. This MOC is a model Auto Museum. The building shown has a main atrium and three exhibition halls focusing on 1) Pre-Minifigure vehicles, 2) (normally) 4-stud wide vehicles of the minifigure era (1978 to around 2001), and 3) (normally) 6-stud wide vehicles of the minifigure era (around 2001 to present). Note, at the time of writing (2020), it seems that a new era of modular road plates is to begin within the history of LEGO. The museum includes 4 roof plates that can be easily lifted off to see the three exhibition halls and the atrium, which includes a ticket/information desk at one end and a café at the other. The vehicles were constructed as close to a selection of original LEGO models as possible, using contemporary parts and these models are listed at the bottom of the page:

Page Addendum, June 2021
The Lego Ideas website includes a section entitled "Activities". The latest activity at the time of writing was called "The Lego Story" and required a model design submission with the following brief:
HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW THE LEGO STORY? LET'S GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO WHERE IT STARTED AND SEE SOME OF OUR HISTORICAL MOMENTS IN LEGO BRICKS.
Due to the nature of the MOC featured on this page above, i.e. following the history of LEGO models as represented in vehicle sets, it was decided to submit the "LEGO® MOC - Auto Museum" idea as an activity entry. As appears to be the case with all activities, only one (square) photo was allowed, with accompanying text of no more than 500 characters, and so the following photo was submitted, alongside the text that follows underneath:
