Field Trip Information
Sean Kenney’s Nature Connects Made With LEGO® Bricks focuses on the gentle beauty of nature, its interconnections, and the network of relationships that bind plants, insects, animals, and their natural environments. Some of these relationships are mutually beneficial, or symbiotic, and some are for the survival of individual species which makes this a great starting off point to discuss many science topics. Animals have connections with their families just like we do, and people, as animals, have a connection with nature and play a role in shaping it. In this exhibition, students will see that they are a part of nature and that they make an impact on the natural world.
Schedule your field trip today to explore over 20 sculptures created with LEGO pieces set throughout the Garden.
