If you happen to be reading this in Denver, go straight to the LEGO exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. The exhibit closes soon, but it will move to New Mexico next year, and you might want to start making plans now. This is LEGO like you’ve never seen it before—1.5 million pieces crafted into life-sized animals and naturescapes. LEGO-lovers, art-lovers, adults, and kids all will be wowed.

“Brick Planet: A Magical Journey Made With LEGO Bricks” is a wondrous exhibit by New York-based artist Sean Kenny that provides an immersive tour of our planet’s diverse ecosystems. From the Arctic tundra to Africa’s savanna, the jaw-dropping nature and animal sculptures (some life-size, some oversized) are painstakingly built entirely from the beloved plastic bricks parents know so well.
