"Bound to make visitors stare" - Vogue
Wowing guests and breaking attendance records since 2012
Head on an inspirational and moving journey at Nature Connects® — an award-winning, record-breaking exhibition of art made with LEGO® bricks.
The exhibition displays the work of acclaimed artist Sean Kenney—known for his incredible ability to create striking and expressive works of
art using simple LEGO toys.
The larger-than-life sculptures in Nature Connects present a playful spin on traditional sculptural art—making it accessible to people
of all ages and backgrounds. Using the beloved toy bricks as a medium, Nature Connects begs the question: just as LEGO bricks interconnect,
how is our natural world interconnected?
Marvel at Sean’s gravity-defying and astoundingly precise structures, and become inspired to explore their world in new ways.
From the miniature majesty of a bonsai tree to the quiet serenity of a Koi fish; from the delicate suspension of a hummingbird on the edge
of a flower to the ferocity of a fox on the hunt—Sean’s art sparks a joyful sense of wonder in those both young and young-at-heart.
At times whimsical, gripping, and awe-inspiring, the exhibition will inspire budding artists, ecologists, and builders to dream big!
Nature Connects has been driving attendance at botanical gardens, zoos, arboretums, and science centers around the world since 2012,
and now Imagine Exhibitions is proud to be touring five sets of this popular show.
