SCRANTON. LACKAWANNA COUNTY- If you loved Legos as a kid, you'll love a new exhibit at the Everhart Museum in Scranton.

It's call "The Art of the Brick."
Nathan Sawaya is the creative mind behind these works of Lego Art.
He used nearly one million Legos for these sculptures which are amazing.
The exhibit opened tonight and will run through May second.
So why a Lego exhibit?
Sawaya tells Eyewitness News "t had been sculpting out of more traditional media like wire and clay and I thought about, you know I have this toy Lego in my closet why don't I pull it out, you know this toy from my childhood and see what i can create out of it so I started creating large scale sculptures and it's just taken off."

While you're at the Everhart, you'll also want to check out the student art which also features student brick creations.
