Posted

NEWPORT NEWS, VA (WTKR/CNN) - Visitors come face-to-face with giant peacock, a 6-foot hummingbird hovering over a trumpet flower, a 7-foot dragonfly and even more larger-than-life creatures at the Virginia Living Museum.

“They come to the Living Museum to see nature and live animals, and now they can see the animals again, in Lego form, and they’re gigantic sculptures,” said Fred Farris of the museum. “It’s just a perfect art, science, nature exhibit that really will appeal to everybody.”

Each of the 13 sculptures was designed by Brooklyn artist and children’s book author Sean Kenney.

He used more than half a million Lego pieces to create the entire exhibition.
