The exhibition offers Washingtonians and visitors alike the opportunity to experience the profound playfulness of over one million Lego bricks transformed into over 130 awe-inspiring sculptures.
Called a “must-see” exhibition by CNN, The Art of the Brick is open to visitors of all ages and will be presented at the Rhode Island Center (524 Rhode Island Ave NE, Washington, DC 20002). The exhibition features a critically acclaimed collection of original works of art as well as reimagined versions of some of the world’s most famous masterpieces, including Michelangelo’s David, Van Gogh’s Starry Night, and Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.
Bigger and better than ever, the exhibition comes to DC after captivating audiences in over 100 cities across 24 countries and attracting more than seven million visitors worldwide.
