Looking for a cool exhibit to share with a budding LEGO enthusiast? Nathan Sawaya's incredible exhibition The Art of the Brick is back at Discovery Times Square. Proclaimed the "world's largest display of LEGO art," this exhibition explores the many ways the humble LEGO brick can be used as a sophisticated medium, both through Sawaya's original work and his reinterpretations of iconic and historical pieces. Tickets and tour times are available online. Select pieces of Sawaya's work can also be found in Clement Clarke Moore Park and at the New York Public Library.
