LEGO bricks are unique in their appeal, having been a top-selling toy for over fifty years. Our use of LEGO as an artistic medium gives an instant attraction to a wide range of audiences, both young and old, and inspires creativity while contributing to awareness of world architecture and our global cities. Brick City presents thirty-one models and scenes in high quality custom-lit plinths, with colourful interpretation panels, along with five LEGO-built wall hangings and the 2x4 metre St Pancras centrepiece. The exhibition has visited art galleries, museums, and exhibition centres in the UK and beyond, attracting significant increases in visitor numbers.
Additional themed engagement activities are available for venues to hire, and to enhance links with existing collections and focuses. Brick City works well in a variety of venues, as it combines a well-known use of LEGO with a global outlook. Many models are also featured in Warren’s internationally acclaimed Brick City book, now available in over 21 languages.
