The Muttart Conservatory is building fun Brick by Brick as it presents a one-of-a-kind exhibit this summer.
Muttart Brick by Brick premieres June 26 and was designed especially for the Muttart Conservatory. Created by the Northern Alberta Lego Users Group (NALUG), the exhibit will display multiple models built with LEGO® bricks that will fill the pyramid, complemented by the facility’s usual array of beautiful plant material. Two highlights of the exhibit will be a 7.5-metre (24-foot) long model of the High Level Bridge, as well as a to-scale model of the Muttart Conservatory. Other custom works include a historical replica of Edmonton buildings, space models, and characters from pop culture.
“The Muttart Conservatory is so excited to be hosting this amazing exhibit,” said Muttart Conservatory Director, Rhonda Norman. “This incredible artwork brings a sense of fun and whimsy to our fabulous space. The beauty of the plants with the excitement of Lego pieces make it an exhibit people of all ages are going to love.”
The concept for Muttart Brick by Brick has been years in the making. The support and expertise of NALUG has helped bring the vision to life.
NALUG is an association of Adult Fans of LEGO®(AFOLs) who have over two decades of experience in creating detailed exhibits featuring large LEGO® models built to scale.
“Thanks to this unique opportunity provided by the Muttart Conservatory, we have a rare opportunity to display many of the custom LEGO® models built by NALUG members over the years,” the group said. “We were honoured to have been asked to produce a scale model of the Muttart. We hope it will provide years of enjoyment for Muttart guests.”
Muttart Brick by Brick will be on display daily from June 26 to August 25, 2023, including Adult-only Wednesday evenings and late hours for families on Thursdays until 9 p.m. Reservations can be booked online at
MoveLearnPlay, and we also continue to accept walk-up guests at the facility. Admission is included with annual
memberships.
