After months of closure due to the Covid-19 pandemic, parks and zoos in the US are allowed to reopen. People are still very cautious when gathering in public places. Therefore, the San Antonio Zoo (Texas, USA) has been especially creative to attract visitors by organizing an animal sculpture exhibition called Wild Connections by famous artist Sean Kenney, a Lego expert from New York. The exhibition displays more than 30 works assembled from more than 3 million Lego bricks, including animals such as pandas, lemurs, turtles, peacocks, bald eagles... and even insects such as bees and butterflies. The convenience for visitors is to drive and enjoy the zoo at the same time.
Each sculpture takes a lot of time and patience to create. Artist Sean Kenney spent 405 hours and used 53,460 Lego bricks to create the baby panda; the bald eagle took 184 hours and 42,198 Lego bricks; the lion took 474 hours and 48,248 Lego bricks to complete…
The exhibition runs until September 5.
