Wider base plate?

This has me puzzled too… I think he meant to say/speculate 1 32x32 baseplate and 1 16x32 baseplate but not sure?

I'm pretty surprised they've gone for a single use building. It certainly makes a statement (hopefully), but having recently built the Grand Emporium, it felt more basic than the modern multi-building ones. I realize that it's pretty old now, and modern techniques in the new one will be a lot better. Maybe it will be lots of rooms or wings to it for that same multi-building feel.

If we are getting Natural History Museum for real, then what about an unknown Modular GWP set? That’s kinda tough one to guess… I could think a few:

1.) School Bus - Prety unlikely since it needs pieces more than 300 to build a bus. Regardless, it would be fun addition for a field trip!

2.) Transport Trck - Some vehicles could carry artificats, such as mummy, shield, vase. However, it’s Natural History Museum, not Human History, so it’s kinda unlikely in my opinion for Transort Truck to happen. 

3) Police Car - Like, we need a security to stop crooks from breaking in and stealing?
4.) Random Car
Now, if it’s not a vehcile set at all, I think I have two I can think of:

1.) Hot Dog Vendor 

2.) Flower art

I will get it regardless, this would have made more sense to have as the 20th anniversary set though. I am still hoping to one day get a post office, but a museum would be cool too. My question, is there or were there any clues in the Jazz club build to suggest the next modular? 

To answer your quesiton, honestly, no I don’t think I saw any clues that point to the next modular building. Nothing realtings to museum, it seems. 

Of course, we have Moving Van (GWP set) that has a painting directly from the art gallery. I don’t think it tell us about “natural history” as well.

To be honest, I would be happy to have a single-purpose buidling set.

When I saw the symbol on the moving van, I thought we had that somewhere before, like a cargo train car or the cargo plane, so I was thinking more like package delivery and therefore post office. (yes, I really want a damn post office)

GWP could be an exhibit in the museum, because "natural museum" screams all sorts of things.

put national instead of natural.

That’s competely understandable you want a post office! Eveyone demands school, post office, hospital, and some random buildings, such as apartment building.  Speaking of which, there is an empty box in the “green room” on the second floor of the jazz club. Plus a package box with “To Jazz Club” label  from the moving truck. I did assume they are relating to a post office. Ah well… we keep dreaming!

It will happen one day! I will keep dreaming for one.

More leaked details from Promobricks. Brachiosaurus skeleton in the atrium. First floor has natural history exhibits. Second floor has space, science, and LEGO exhibits. Roof is the curator's office and two skylights.

Sounds like plenty of fun details.

I would imagine the atrium to be two stories tall, and maybe even three, with a braccio skeleton. So you need the extra width to fit the galleries in the wings.

That gotta be amazing!

I would imagine that there is an opening in the 2nd floor so brachiosaurus’ head skull could go through that gap. But it would be more difficult. I think each floor would be taller for sure.

The site suggests 7 minifigures, I wonder if there will be extra ones to use as part of historical displays?

I think it will be the other way around, with maybe 4 "real" minifigures and 3 of them being statues and mannequins

I like what I'm reading. Museum would definitely have to be a big modular and I'm glad it is.

Maybe there will be tons of references to next year's releases, especially the space theme!

A Natural History Museum sounds fantastic - I can’t wait for the reveal if this rumour is true.

Was hoping for the mould instead, however even I assumed that was very slim chances of that happening

Maybe there won’t have the new mould that you are searching for, but you surely will find some old molds 😆in that museum !

They might do a printed skeleton on it, like the T.Rex set...

[Lion King]

I don’t think a molded Brachiosaurus would be used as a fossilized verison for this museum set…

[BrickFit26]

I'm so happy we got info on the 2024 modular so early. It's a pain to have to wait. I wonder what color palette they went with this time.

Since it will be a natural history museum, a little touch of earth green (too rarely used) for accents with gray for the stoneworks and brown for wood would go with the concept

I like yoru ideas. Fro me, I would imagine the museum would have color scheme - white, tan, and a dash of sand/earth green. Gray color for steps. Architectural eateries would be a classical one, which it woul be very nice for natural history museu. I don’t think art deco would do right. 

I would be happy to see a light gray statue of the existing maned lion (from City theme in 2021) in front of the museum. But i don’t think it will happen.

Some good options there.

I imagine the museum in the same style of the botanical with the arched plates as accent, but in tan or light grey

[jonwil]

A building with a large amount of sand yellow (aka dark tan) as the primary color would be great and would certainly fit with the style of any number of museum buildings around the world.

Also remember that modulars don't normally get new molds (the double bass in the jazz club was an exception because it wasn't technically a "new mold" since it was created already for canceled Vidiyo product)

I think Police Station does have a new arch piece?
