A big bumblebee weighing 60 pounds, a dramatic dragonfly with a three-and-a-half-foot wingspan and a soaring seven-foot-tall red rose: these are just a few of the sculptures on display at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden as part of Nature Connects®: Art with LEGO® Bricks. Created with half-a-million LEGO bricks, the award-winning exhibit by New York artist Sean Kenney feature 27 sculptures in 14 displays throughout the garden.
