Exciting events add even more to ‘Brick Journeys’ at Beverley Art Gallery

There will be a programme of special events and activities during the exciting ‘Brick Journeys’ exhibition at Beverley Art Gallery.

Created once again by Warren Elsmore, ‘Brick Journeys’ will be on display from Saturday, 15 July until Saturday, 26 August

The exhibition celebrates different modes of transport with unique models, all built from LEGO® bricks. Visitors will see how humans have progressed, from the first hot air balloon to today’s rockets, and will take flight with a brick-built airport and wonder at the engineering of the Forth Road Bridge.
