Ah, LEGO. Once the biggest source of national foot pain, now a major artistic medium throughout the globe – there really is no shortage of potential for these colourful little bricks.

Well now, we’re building up to having one of the biggest LEGO exhibitions in the world land right on our doorstep, as The Art of the Brick is coming to London this spring.

After travelling to over 100 countries and being viewed by over 10 million people, this exhibit, which is entirely devoted to the blocky world of LEGO, will be settling down at the Brick Lane Boiler House for a limited run.

Inside, visitors will find hundreds of sculptures made by artist Nathan Sawaya, featuring everything from dinosaur skeletons to the famous Girl with a Pearl Earring painting in cuboid form. Plus, there’ll be multimedia rooms, build-your-own sculpture areas and the mysterious kinetic skulls installation.

Intrigued? We don’t blame you. Here’s how you can get tickets to this slab-ulous exhibit (sorry!).

The Art of the Brick is a showcase of over 150 sculptures made by artist Nathan Sawaya.

With more than one million LEGO bricks used throughout the exhibition, visitors can expect to see original works, such as a six-metre dinosaur skeleton and life-size human figures, alongside a series of re-imagined master-pieces like Michelangelo's David, Van Gogh's The Starry Night and Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa.

London is also only the second venue to feature the critically acclaimed kinetic skulls installation, a special LED light show which sees over 250 LEGO skulls moving in a series of waves.

The exhibit also features an innovative LEGO multimedia collection produced by award-winning photographer Dean West. Plus, you’ll get the chance to build your own LEGO sculptures in the playground area at the end.
