We always knew Leeds was blessed but now this confirms it, as this will be the only UK city on the tour of the LEGO artworks.
This art exhibition contains more than 70 pieces and sculptures made entirely out of these building bricks, one million pieces to be exact.
One of the various collections you’ll be able to admire and be in awe of as you walk round is titled ‘Perniciem’, and is a celebration of nature, highlighting the world’s many endangered animals.
This exclusive installation is spreading the love to plenty of animals including giraffes, sharks, gorillas and even flamingos, this day-out is going to be a wild one.
