Lego art
From May 14 to August 30, 2015, after having toured the world, an exhibit featuring Nathan Sawaya's Lego sculptures will have a new home in Paris at the Porte de Versailles. The exhibit presents more than 100 incredible works of art created with Lego bricks.
In all, Nathan Sawaya used more than 1 million bricks.
The dinosaur required 80,020 bricks to come to life.
Opened in New York in 2007, the exhibit has welcomed more than 2 million visitors around the world. Presented in Australia, in Asia and then in Europe in 2014, it traveled to Brussels, Amsterdam and Rome before coming to Paris.
Though some of the works on exhibit are creations born from the artist’s imagination, others are inspired by renowned works of art such as Rodin’s “The Thinker,” the “Venus de Milo,” the north transept portals of the Chartres Cathedral and Edward Munch’s “The Scream.”
