The newest must-see exhibit at The Fort Worth Botanic Garden is part art, part engineering, and totally amazing. Join FWBG for Sean Kenney’s Nature POP! The exhibit, will be on view from May 22 through September 7. Look for more than 40 artworks made with over 800,000LEGO bricks.
Sean Kenney’s art takes a three-dimensional twist, made of colorful LEGO bricks.
He is “a New York–based, award-winning LEGO Certified Professional and one of the world’s most celebrated LEGO artists,” according to a release. “Recognized by The LEGO Group for his extraordinary craftsmanship, Kenney creates contemporary sculptures, large-scale traveling exhibits, commissioned artwork, and has authored nine children’s books. His acclaimed exhibits — including Nature Connects, Wild Connections, and Nature Pop — have captivated audiences worldwide with their exploration of nature, wildlife, and humanity.”
More than 40 wildly creative animal sculptures made from over 800,000 LEGO bricks, will be ready to spot this summer.
Produced by Imagine, a leading producer of traveling exhibitions that blend art, science, and popular culture ― Nature POP! transforms colorful LEGO bricks into bold, graphic sculptures that celebrate wildlife in all its wonder.
You’ll find 40 sculptures tucked throughout the Garden this summer. “Each piece brings a different creature or plant to life — from a powerful panther poised to pounce and a curious fox on the prowl, to a gentle mama bear tenderly carrying her cub. Every sculpture is paired with fun scientific facts about its featured animal, so visitors leave not just wowed, but genuinely a little wiser, too.”
Just like LEGO bricks, everything in nature is connected, they say. “Pull one piece away and the whole picture changes.”
Nature POP! Is intended to captivate all ages and audiences. The familiar childhood toy makes Kenney’s sculptures monumental and mesmerizing. Seeing these sculptures positioned throughout can turn a walk through the Garden into a whole new kind of adventure.
Sean Kenney’s Nature POP! Made with LEGO Bricks is open daily during regular Garden hours, and entrance is included with general admission. Tickets are available online at fwbg.org or may be purchased in person at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden.
Get ready to take a walk on the wild side.
