150 sculptures, One million bricks, 10 million visitors worldwide, this exhibition has been worth the build-up – here’s how you can get tickets to the critically acclaimed Art of the Brick exhibition this spring.
Ah, LEGO. Once the biggest source of national foot pain, now a major artistic medium throughout the globe – there really is no shortage of potential for these colourful little bricks.
Well now, we’re building up to having one of the biggest LEGO exhibitions in the world land right on our doorstep, as The Art of the Brick is coming to London this spring.
After travelling to over 100 countries and being viewed by over 10 million people, this exhibit, which is entirely devoted to the blocky world of LEGO, will be settling down at the Brick Lane Boiler House for a limited run.
Inside, visitors will find hundreds of sculptures made by artist Nathan Sawaya, featuring everything from dinosaur skeletons to the famous Girl with a Pearl Earring painting in cuboid form. Plus, there’ll be multimedia rooms, build-your-own sculpture areas and the mysterious kinetic skulls installation.
Intrigued? We don’t blame you. Here’s how you can get tickets to this slab-ulous exhibit (sorry!).
