Beverley Art Gallery’s The Brick City exhibition, created by Warren Elsmore, is proving popular, but time is running out if you have not been to see it yet.
Families have flocked to the Treasure House on Champney Road to see the celebration of iconic buildings from cities around the world which have been recreated using LEGO bricks.
Visitors can take a world tour and discover highlights of cities across five continents, taking in lively celebrations in Rio, through to New York, Copenhagen, Venice, Japan and Las Vegas.
The exhibition also uncovers urban highlights, as well as more recognisable iconic structures.
Visitors can spot common ground between buildings constructed thousands of years apart, such as the Roman Colosseum and the 2012 London Olympic Park and take in the centrepiece, London St Pancras station, measuring two metres by four metres and built from over 180,000 standard bricks.
The St Pancras model took 300 man-hours to create.
“Visitors are loving this stunning exhibition and are amazed by the patience need to create all the models,” said Cllr Mike Medini, portfolio holder for culture, leisure, libraries and customer services.
“I encourage everybody who loves LEGO to come along and see it before it closes on Saturday 10 September.
“It’s the perfect family trip out this summer.”
Admission is free and there is no need to book in advance.
Younger visitors can also enjoy the Minifig-a-gram competition in the Treasure House until 10th September.
It is a chance to hunt around the Treasure House museum for LEGO Minifigures hiding in the display cases.
Each minifigure has a letter. Some of the letters are also nestled in the LEGO brick models of historic Beverley landmarks that are on display.
Visitors can collect all the letters to make the two winning words and could bag a LEGO City set as a prize.
The trail will be available during normal Treasure House opening times.
