Description
Invite your guests on an inspirational and moving journey at Nature Connects®—an award-winning,
record-breaking exhibition of art made with over 400,000 LEGO® bricks. The exhibition displays the work of acclaimed artist Sean Kenney—known for his incredible ability to create striking and expressive works of art using simple LEGO toys.
The more than 25 larger-than-life sculptures in Nature Connects present a playful spin on traditional sculptural art—making it accessible to guests of all ages and backgrounds.
Using the beloved toy bricks as a medium, Nature Connects begs the question: just as LEGO bricks interconnect, how is our natural world interconnected? At times whimsical, gripping, and awe-inspiring, the exhibition will inspire budding artists, ecologists, and builders to dream big!
