There is only one week remaining to visit the Think Outside the Brick exhibit at the Columbus Museum of Art! I wanted to share a few pictures from our visit in December. The exhibit runs through February 21, 2016.
Taking two kids under 5 to the art museum by myself was a little bit intimidating, but the museum actually has a lot to offer kids (and as a side note, if you’re a nursing mother, one of the nicest Mother’s Rooms in the city!) Right now is a great time to visit with kids because of the LEGO exhibit.
The first thing you will see is this amazing replica of Ohio Stadium. Upon seeing this, my 4 year old said, “I didn’t know they made such cool LEGO sidewalks!” Okay? The things they notice are never what you expect!
Then there is a great model of the city of Columbus built from LEGOS.
The Museum of Art with its new addition.
The Statehouse.
Lots of fun!
There is also an area for free building with all white LEGO bricks.
Though the LEGO’s may be on their way out, don’t let that stop you from taking your kids to the museum. On the first level there is the JPMorgan Chase Center for Creativity with space for kids to play, build and experience art hands-on. There are also Open Studio times for all ages.
Think Outside the Brick is part of a collaboration with COSI and the Ohio History Center. Together they have sponsored the 2015 LEGO Design Challenge. The Ohio History Center has the finalists on display through April 10, 2016. Here are a few pictures of this display:
COSI has the LEGO creations of artist Arthur Gugick on display in their LEGO Travel Adventure Exhibit through May 8, 2016. There is also areas for kids to build and race their own cars and a free building area ideal for children over age 3.
If you have LEGO lovers in your family, like I do, don’t miss these exhibits!
