LEGO: The Art of the Brick, the exhibition returns to Montparnasse - final days

LEGOs invade Paris once again! After a stint at Porte de Versailles, then at La Grande Halle de La Villette in a DC superhero version, The Art of the Brick exhibition returns to Paris from December 20, 2023 to August 11, 2024, at Montparnasse, in the former Galeries Lafayette premises. The exhibition, produced by Fever, features the work of artist Nathan Sawaya, and more than 100 amazing sculptures, the fruit of the American's boundless imagination. This LEGO enthusiast gave up a career as a lawyer in New York to devote himself to his passion: building an entire universe with the little bricks of his childhood...

Aimed at young and old alike, this travelling exhibition has already attracted over 2 million visitors worldwide! More than 100 works, made up of a million LEGO bricks... Nathan Sawaya has recreated a dinosaur, using over 80,020 pieces, and reinterpreted Munch's Scream in 3D, among others. Some of his creations are just crazy!

These LEGO creations also pay tribute to some of history's greatest works, including Rodin's The Thinker, the Venus de Milo, the Mona Lisa (which required over 4,500 pieces for a 1:1 scale result),Hokusai 's Wave, Van Gogh' s Starry Night and Klimt's Kiss.

To make all these pieces, the artist has two workshops, one in New York and the other in Los Angeles: a real LEGO warehouse, where 4 million bricks are arranged in transparent boxes according to color, shape and size. He smiles and confides that he works "in theheart of a LEGO rainbow", and that he is one of the company's best customers.

At the end of the exhibition, there's no escaping the fact that there's a store where you can take home tons of LEGOs, as well as bricks and video games to unleash your creativity. Get ready for a brick invasion, folks!
