THE ART OF THE BRICK
Presented by M&T Bank
Named one of CNN’s Top Ten ‘Global Must-See Exhibitions,’ THE ART OF THE BRICK exhibit by artist Nathan Sawaya is a critically-acclaimed collection of inspiring artworks made exclusively from one of the most recognizable toys in the world: the LEGO® brick. From child’s toy to sophisticated art form and beyond, the world’s most elaborate display of LEGO art ever features original pieces as well as re-imagined versions of the world’s most famous art masterpieces like Van Gogh’s Starry Night and Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa as well as a gallery showcasing an innovative, multimedia collection of LEGO brick infused photography produced in tandem with award-winning photographer Dean West.
THE ART OF THE BRICK ticket holders will also have access to “The Science of the Brick” free-play activity area, where guests can put their LEGO architecture and engineering skills to the test! This hands-on builder activity area features activity tables with different brick building challenges and interactives, plus free-play and demonstration areas. Create your own brick masterpieces, build a maze out of LEGO bricks, design a brick race car at the Drag Race, and more!
PLEASE NOTE: School Group and day camp visitation is heaviest between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., Tuesday through Friday. Those wishing for a less busy time in the exhibition should select an entry time outside of this window.
