In Bordeaux, the traveling Lego exhibition ends with "the highest attendance figures in France"

"The exhibition works better in France than elsewhere because we place importance on craftsmanship and art," says Aurore Ogez. The Lego game appeals to young and old, to construction enthusiasts and those interested in the new video games that have adopted the brand's image. From sculptures from Antiquity to Van Gogh's paintings, there's something for everyone. Nathan Samaya, an American artist who has been passionate about colorful bricks since he was a child, has built 90 works, most of which are reproductions of great classics. Virginie, passing by, sums it up in one sentence: "From a toy, we are taken back through the history of art."

Children spend long minutes in front of the sculptures. Others run around or imitate a dinosaur's cry in front of a fluorescent green reproduction of the beast. Parents, too, are entertained on this summer weekend. Françoise, a grandmother accompanying her grandchildren, was "particularly touched" by the reproductions of human organs, original creations by Nathan Samaya.

As we leave the exhibition, we finally understand the source of the general hubbub: it's the sound of Lego being assembled by children. This is where the proposed itinerary, through the history of art, takes on its full meaning: "with these small 3D pieces, creation is within everyone's reach," says Norbert Fradin, founder of the Musée Mer Marine, who, with this exhibition, hopes to diversify the profile of his visitors.
