    LEGO Certified Professional Sean Kenney has an art installation going throughout the United States right now called Nature Connects: Art with LEGO Bricks. It features life-sized and larger-than-life-sized LEGO statues and sculptures of animals and insects found in nature. Reporter ChocolateFrogs visited the exhibit at the Richmond, VA, Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens, and shares what to expect at any of these exhibits at the many locations it is touring.

    Hummingbird Bumblebee

    This location has 16 pieces throughout the gardens. What is astounding about Kenney's exhibit it the amount of work put into the pieces. We all know huge LEGO structures are impressive, but seeing it again and again continues to defy expectations. Everything just looks so cool! I want to take it home and have it as a centerpiece for my living room.

    Butterfly Bison Lily Pad Frog Dragon Fly

    Many large LEGO sculptures can be started with a computer program mapping out a 3D model and showing where to put the bricks, but there comes a point in the details that most of this was probably done by hand, like a small frog on a lily pad and the angles of a dragonfly's wings. We'll never know just how all of these pieces came together, but we can admire their beauty and connection to nature.

    The Nature Connects exhibit can be seen at multiple botanical gardens, zoos, and such for the next few years. Sean Kenney's website has a list of locations, and might be a day-trip away from you!
