Guernsey Museum at Candie is thrilled to be showing the Brick City exhibition from Saturday 2 April.

Brick City celebrates over 30 iconic buildings from cities around the world, recreated in LEGO® bricks by artist Warren Elsmore and his team. Come on a tour of the world and discover highlights of cities across all seven continents. Visit lively celebrations from New Zealand to New Orleans, tall skyscrapers from New York to Mecca and imaginative castles from medieval Japan to modern Las Vegas.

The centrepiece is the magnificent 180,000 piece London St Pancras Station. A graffiti wall can be used to craft your own masterpieces and an Artist at Work video gives an insight into how Warren Elsmore and his team design and develop their LEGO® brick creations.

Jo Dowding, Access & Learning Manager: “We are really excited to share these fantastic models with our visitors. We hope that it will inspire people to build their own creations and celebrate iconic buildings in Guernsey.”

Guernsey Arts present The Art of Nature on Paper by Bridget Spinney at the Greenhouse Gallery from 25th March until 15th May. The exhibition also features a sound installation by Flexagon and Monika.

Brick City will open from Sat 2 April until Sun 3 July. Guernsey Museum will open daily 10.00-17.00 (from 27 March) and entry is free to Discovery Pass holders and their children.
