The Perot Museum of Nature and Science will reach for the sky with its latest traveling exhibition, “Towers of Tomorrow with LEGO bricks” which made its Texas debut on September 24th.
“Towers of Tomorrow” features 20 iconic skyscrapers built in 2,000 hours using more than half a million LEGO bricks by Ryan McNaught, one of only 21 LEGO-certified professionals worldwide.
Among the towers to be seen will be the Barangaroo Hotel Crown Resort in Sydney; Burj Khalifa in Dubai; Bank of America Place in Atlanta; 111 West 57th Street, Central Park Tower Building, Chrysler Building, and Empire State Building in New York City; CN Tower in Toronto; Eureka Tower in Melbourne; Infinity Tower in Brisbane; International Trade Tower in Hong Kong; Marina Bay Sands in Singapore; N Seoul Tower in Seoul, Korea; Petronas Towers in Malaysia; Q1 in Queensland; Shanghai Tower in Shanghai; Taipei 101 in Taiwan; Tokyo Skytree in Tokyo; Willis (Sears) Tower in Chicago; and Wilshire Grand Center in Los Angeles.
This is the museum’s second attempt at a LEGO exhibition that previously featured “The Art of the Brick” in 2019. While this one has used LEGO creations to illuminate famous works of art, this museum will pay tribute to various architectural masterpieces from around the world.
“In our endeavor to inspire minds through nature and science, the Perot Museum strives to present rousing exhibitions that trigger these ‘aha moments’,” said Dr. Linda Silver, Eugene McDermott, CEO of the Perot Museum, in a statement. “‘Towers of Tomorrow with LEGO Bricks’ is a hands-on experience for all ages and a fun way to spark that vital interest in STEM.”
After interacting with the intricate structures, guests are invited to enter the construction areas, which are furnished with more than 200,000 LEGO bricks, in order to build their own “tower of tomorrow”. They can then channel their inner engineer by adding their creations to an ever-growing futuristic LEGO masterpiece on display at the exhibition.
The exhibition can be seen until April 24, 2022. Tickets cost $ 5 to $ 8 on top of museum admission; Children under 2 years are free. For the safety of the guests, all museum visitors aged 2 and over must wear a face covering. All interactive exhibits are regularly disinfected and hand disinfection stations are available.
