After 15 years in construction, the LHC has started its physics program. It is without doubt the most complex scientific instrument ever built, bringing together science and engineering on a grand scale. The 6000 superconducting magnets weighing nearly 50000 tons in total are cooled with 100 tons of superfluid helium. In this seminar the unique design features of the LHC will be described and some of the trials and tribulations of bringing it all together are discussed.
