Easter Fun On The South Bank With Extended Opening Hours And Lego Egg Making Challenge

Youngsters can put their creative skills to the test this Easter with The Art of the Brick: DC Super Heroes Build A LEGO Easter Egg Challenge - and take advantage of Easter Day's extended opening hours from 10.00 - 19.00.

From Monday 10th April - Monday 17th April (inclusive), Super Hero fans can try their hand at making a LEGO sculpture of their very own after being inspired by Nathan Sawaya's incredible artworks. Budding artists can unleash their inspiration and create Easter Egg designs in the exhibition's interactive zone, where every day the winning entry in two age categories (up to 10 years and 11 - 16 years) will be kept.

At the end of the week, the successful entries will be sent to the artist to judge who is the overall victor in each category.

Nathan's lucky overall winners will receive a special The Art of the Brick: DC Super Heroes exhibition merchandise goody bag and will have their egg returned to them to keep as a trophy of their EGGS-TRAordinary skills.

The Art of the Brick: DC Super Heroes is the world's largest collection of artwork inspired by DC's Justice League, including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, alongside DC Super-Villains the Joker, Harley Quinn and more.

Through a series of immersive galleries, THE ART OF THE BRICK: DC SUPER HEROES showcases Sawaya's interpretations on characters, vehicles, environments and themes found throughout DC Super Heroes mythology including transformation and reinvention, strength and weakness, as well as good vs. evil.

To kids and adults who love LEGO, Sawaya is a bit of a super hero. For the last decade, the former lawyer- turned- artist has elevated the simple toy to highly sought-after artwork, and has inspired countless kids to think outside of the box. Sawaya has turned to the stories of super heroes for his own inspiration in this exhibition - THE ART OF THE BRICK: DC SUPER HEROES - that features LEGO sculptures that emulate DC's legendary characters, vehicles, surroundings and themes that are present in the DC mythology.

THE ART OF THE BRICK: DC SUPER HEROES exhibition includes more than 120 original pieces, created exclusively from LEGO bricks, including a life-size Batmobile (5.5 meters) and built from half a million standard pieces. Sawaya has captured on a real scale some of the most iconic Super Heroes and Super-Villains from DC, exploring more than 80 years of history.

THE ART OF THE BRICK: DC SUPER HEROES is in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Entertainment. The exhibition holds true to the creative disciplines of Sawaya's original touring exhibition, THE ART OF THE BRICK, which encourage inspiration, education and participation and has been seen by millions of people in more than 75 cities across six continents. Award-winning and record-breaking, CNN rated it as one of the world's "Must See Exhibitions."
