The Fort Worth Botanic Garden will play host to more than 40 Lego sculptures this summer.<\/p>\n

In the new Nature POP!<\/a> exhibit by Sean Kenney, a doe and her fawn, a bushy-tailed fox and a sneaky panther are just a few of the installations made from more than 800,000 small plastic Lego blocks.<\/p>\n

Kenney<\/a> is a New York-based Lego professional and one of the world\u2019s most celebrated Lego artists. The Botanic Garden has worked with him before in 2021 to bring \u201cNature Connects,\u201d<\/a> where he built Lego lilly pads, butterflies and rose sculptures. The Nature POP! exhibit will be similar.<\/p>\n

The Lego exhibit is a reminder that everything in nature is connected, just like each Lego block in each sculpture. If you pull one piece away, the whole picture changes.<\/p>\n

\"Deer<\/p>\n

Deer made entirely of LEGO blocks are a part of the Nature POP! art installation by world renowned artist Sean Kenney at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden.<\/p>\n

How much does it cost to see the new Lego exhibit at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden?<\/p>\n

Nature POP! by Kenney is free to see with a general admission ticket<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During June and July, guests who wear a soccer jersey will receive half-off general admission in celebration of the 2026 FIFA World Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Panther,<\/p>\n

Panther, fitting for Fort Worth\u2019s moniker of Panther City, is another sculpture in Sean Kenney\u2019s Nature POP! exhibit at Fort Worth Botanic Garden.<\/p>\n
