This summer, to mark the 60th anniversary of the LEGO® brick, American-Scandinavian Foundation presents the exhibition LEGO® Bricks: A Celebration! Featuring sculptures, mosaics, and interactive play zones by renowned LEGO® Certified Professional artist Sean Kenney, the exhibition includes an overview of the LEGO Group’s history and educational mission as well as a variety of children’s workshops at Scandinavia House.

The event opens Saturday, April 28 from 3 to 5 PM, with a special, family-friendly event featuring over 30,000 loose LEGO® bricks in our interactive play zone, as well as live music, snacks, and fun for all ages.

Free play is how children develop their imagination and is the foundation for creativity. It is the LEGO Group’s philosophy that ‘good quality play’ enriches a child’s life, and lays the foundation for later adult life. Along with young builders, many architects, designers and artists use the LEGO brick to create new worlds of their own. With sculptures and wall pieces by Brooklyn-based artist Sean Kenney, viewers can discover the myriad ways the LEGO brick can be used, and an interactive play zone will inspire builders of all ages to explore the creative potential of their imagination.
