An exhibit at Tel Aviv’s port features 25 works by the award-winning Lego artist Sean Kenney of New York, who uses Lego bricks — thousands of them — to construct sculptures featuring famous sites, portraits, animals and objects from everyday life.

The exhibit opened July 26 and will remain at Hangar 11 until August 31. It includes robotics activities, stands featuring every kind of Lego toy on the market, and a free Lego-construction area, as well as a Lego store.

The entrance fee to the Lego exhibit is NIS 69 per person, although kids under two are free and families of four can pay a reduced price of NIS 250.

The exhibits are open from 8:30 a.m. until 8 p.m. each night. Call *3942 for tickets.
