An exhibition of LEGO® creations is opening today (Tuesday 2 December) at Fort George, the iconic heritage site near Inverness. Brick Wonders allows visitors to discover iconic creations from around the world built using 500,000 LEGO® bricks, built by artist Warren Elsmore and his team.
From the seven wonders of the ancient world to modern marvels, Brick Wonders recreates modern, natural, and historic wonders from all seven continents, all from LEGO® bricks. Visitors can journey through creations from the building of the pyramids and the International Space Station to the Grand Canyon, Old London Bridge and the Aurora Australis.
