Brick by Brick Exhibition

This autumn, the Dorman Museum welcomes a new LEGO® themed exhibition ‘Brick by Brick’, featuring work by international artists, designers and photographers who use LEGO® bricks as their medium or their inspiration.

Using this simple plastic construction block as their starting point, they have created stunning, thought provoking and often humorous artworks which will appeal to art enthusiasts and LEGO® fans alike.

Inspired by the wide range of artworks on show, a LEGO® graffiti wall, build table and a selection of LEGO® related games will give visitors the opportunity to try their hand at creating their own construction brick artwork.

Brick by Brick is a 20-21 Visual Arts Centre Touring Exhibition.
