Wonders of world created in Lego bricks on show in Nottinghamshire

Xinhua, January 23, 2017 Adjust font size:

From an ancient Chinese pagoda to the pyramids of Egypt, a major exhibition of famous buildings created using Lego building bricks is on show in Nottinghamshire.

More than 70 works by professional Lego artist Warren Elsmore will be on display at the Harley Gallery until April 2.

The show includes brick models showcasing new wonders of the world, along with treasures from the past millennium that remain standing today.

It took Elsmore several months to build each exhibit, such as Stonehenge, the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls and the Great Barrier Reef.

Elsmore, who makes Lego buildings full-time, said "I'm an author and artist in LEGO bricks. It means I get to play with LEGO for a living."

A spokeswoman at the Harley Gallery said the exhibition will take people on a unique journey through history and around the globe. Endit
