Review: The Art of the Brick brings Lego to life
Yorkshire Evening Post
|August 13, 2025
When we were little, my brother and I spent hours playing with Lego.
We'd tag-team building sets as I'd find the pieces we need and he'd put them together. Our imaginary games which featured the mixed-up architecture of Lego City, Harry Potter and Star Wars, are one of my favourite memories of being young. Now, The Art of the Brick, a new art exhibition in Leeds centred on Lego, brings the magic back.
Named as a "must-see" attraction by CNN, The Art of the Brick has been transported across over 100 cities all over the world and now it has come to Leeds. Based in the Headrow in Leeds city centre, you'll see 67 different sculptures made out of over one million Lego bricks.
It's a mesmerising collection designed by American artist Nathan Sawaya featuring recreations of iconic art pieces, animals, everyday objects and people (though not with the classic yellow head).
