EXHIBITION: Brick History

Comments Off on EXHIBITION: Brick History

Walk through history in LEGO® bricks!

 

Brick History takes famous moments from history and imagines them in LEGO® bricks – how many do you recognise?  From DNA and the Big Bang to Mozart, Martin Luther King and mobile phones, LEGO® artist Warren Elsmore and his team have created a celebration of our shared stories, struggles, and triumphs, made from everyone’s favourite Danish toy.

From tiny recreations of Concorde and the Titanic that could fit in your hand, to a 1.5m square medieval castle bustling with activity, there are models to make you smile, to make you think, and to inspire you to build a better world.

 

  • Opens 3 April through to 4 May 2026
  • The Murial Barker Gallery, Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre
