I’m not new to Nathan Sawaya’s art. We first saw his LEGO art in 2013. But this exhibition truly shows off his creativity, skill and imagination. Displaying recreations of iconic artwork such as the Mona Lisa as well as Scream, to Michelango’s Famous David to a 20-foot Tyrannosaurus made out of 80,000 Lego!! You will find stunning art in all shapes and sizes.
