Photo Courtesy The Art of the BrickThe Franklin Institute will once again spill over with more than a million plastic bricks, figuratively speaking.
Legos might be a source of pain for the unlucky souls who step on them, but they serve as the primary material for the Franklin Institute’s returning. Created in 2007 by artist Nathan Sawaya, this exhibit was first brought to Philly eight years ago attracting over 300,000 spectators. Between February 17, 2024 and September 2, 2024, Lego fans can visit the 100 Lego-made sculptures to see old favorites and new creations.
Folks can look forward to a mix of sculptures, featuring classic favorites such as the 20-foot Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton , replicas of famous masterpieces — including Van Gogh’s “Starry Night,” and Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” — and the 11,000-brick sculpture of a person ripping open their chest called “Yellow.”Sawaya’s collection is bigger this time around. More than 30 new pieces have been added, including “Decisions,” the exhibit’s biggest artistic display made out of 112,000 Lego bricks.
