Experience The Art of the Brick LEGO Exhibit

If you thought LEGO art is just for kids, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. There’s a new exciting exhibit at the California Science Center that’s great for all ages! The Art of Brick is the world’s largest display of LEGO art by artist Nathan Sawaya. More than 100 sculptures is made with over one million LEGO bricks. It includes Sawaya’s original sculptures as well as re-imagined versions of some of the world’s most famous art masterpieces. Make sure you experience The Art Of The Brick before this exhibit ends.

All of us were in awe when we saw his work. It looks so authentic that you can’t tell it’s made out of LEGOs until you are up close. For his re-imagined pieces, they really look like the actual art work but made out of LEGOs. It’s really amazing! I would recommend giving yourself an one hour time frame to enjoy this exhibit. There is also an area for kids to build their own creations and other hands on building activities. This exhibit will be on display through September 2020.

Here are some of the highlights below..
