Bricks, Art, Photo Opps: Newbury Street Date Night With or Without the Kids

The Art of The Brick is part art gallery, part Lego fan experience, and part photo opp spot. The Art of The Brick isn’t for Lego fans only though. If you appreciate art classics like Klimt’s The Kiss or The Girl With The Pearl Earring by Vermeer then you get to see the famous works in a new way created out of Lego. In addition to variations of the classics there are the original pieces, Lego sculptures, and works of art created by brick artist Nathan Sawaya which are thought provoking large scale works.

The Art of The Brick is for all ages. It is set up over several floors and there are elevators for those who need them and stairs for those who could burn off a little energy.

I used to have a poster of The Kiss in my college dorm. I have never quite seen Klimt’s work like this before! The Kiss recreated by artist Nathan Sawaya at The Art of The Brick on Newbury St in Boston.

On the top floor there is a space where you can do some hands on activities with Lego. Throughout the exhibit are several very impressive photo opp spots all completely made of Lego as well.
