About the Exhibit
The Art of the Brick exhibit is on tour around the world, and it regularly receives accolades while impressing visitors. In fact, CNN included it among the “Must See Exhibitions” of the world. It showcases the work of Nathan Sawaya, which is done solely with LEGO bricks. This is actually the first art exhibition that only uses LEGOs as a medium, with Sawaya taking the idea to the next level. Within the exhibit, Sawaya has multiple unique pieces showing whimsy, creativity, and unmatched skill.
Photos Are Welcome
This is one exhibit that encourages you to take photos and videos. You will definitely be impressed by the pieces at Art of the Brick and want to share them, so plan ahead and make sure your phone or camera is charged. Just remember not to bring food or drinks into the exhibit area.
