History:

Big Ben, officially known as the Elizabeth Tower, was completed in 1859 as part of the Palace of Westminster in London. Its great clock and massive bell, nicknamed “Big Ben,” quickly became national symbols of Britain. Designed by Augustus Pugin in the Gothic Revival style, the tower stands over 96 metres tall and continues to dominate the Westminster skyline. Throughout history, its chimes have marked key national events and moments of unity. The Matchcraft Big Ben Matchstick Kit pays tribute to this landmark, giving hobbyists the chance to recreate in miniature one of the most recognisable towers in the world while engaging in the timeless craft of wooden model building.
