It's an awesome experience seeing The Art of the Brick®, a globally-touring exhibition of sculptures created entirely of LEGO® bricks now on display at the Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum. Even better is touring the exhibit, which fills the Museum's entire two floors of gallery space, with one of the Museum's knowledgeable docents, who can point out the intricate - and often hidden - details in these incredible works of art.
Beginning Wednesday, August 3 and continuing through Wednesday, September 7, 2016, the Art Museum will offer free, guided tours of the exhibit every Wednesday at 2 p.m. (Admission to the Museum is free; however, donations are encouraged.)
