Art with LEGO ® BRICKS
April 19 – Sept. 3, 2018
Be amazed at the larger-than-life
sculptures of wildlife designed by Artist
Sean Kenney. His talented team of
builders spent over 6,500 hours and used
over 770,000 LEGO bricks to create 13
impressive works of art hoping to inspire
you to learn more about the plight of
endangered wildlife and to join us as
we strive brick by brick to build a better
future for wildlife.
Discover these sculptures set within
the natural scenery of the Louisville Zoo.
Stand in awe next to the coral reef,
marvel at a gigantic rainbow-colored
chameleon, come nose-to-nose with a
crouching snow leopard and more!
Just as LEGO bricks interconnect,
everything in nature is interconnected
in a delicate balance. Each sculpture
in Nature Connects depicts a different
vulnerable species (with one already
extinct) — animals that could use our
help. The collection comes together to
help visitors understand the connection
between animal conservation and our
world. Throughout the exhibit, guests will
learn how the sculptures relate to animal
conservationists working to build a better
future for these animals.

Polar Bear Mother & Cubs
"I was touched to learn
about the relationship
that a mother polar bear
has with her cubs; she
raises them, teaches them
to hunt, and together they
have a very visible and
strong love. I was taken
by how almost-human
they seemed and I
wanted to capture
this aspect of their
lives."
