Balloon Dogs and The Hollywood Sign
Published 1 year, 5 months ago in Kids stuff.We did it - we went to the National Gallery Lego exhibit, and it was COOOOOOL! Thousands of white bricks, and you get to take a turn to do some building. Time limits when they are busy, but they gave us a generous 15 minutes. You make any kind of building to add to the “city”, and work with what is already there. There was a King Kong on a building, a “Skipping Girl”, and all sorts of cool stuff already made. Number 1 son and I collaborated on a “HOLLYWOOD” sign, while daughter made a “Meet the Robinsons” style building (her description), adding someone else’s decoration to the top. Number 2 son tried to make a satellite, he says, but ended up with a useful building base.
After that, we had the pleasure of seeing the giant inflatable bunny in the foyer.
Then the exhibit of sneakers (just so cool!).
Then we thoroughly enjoyed the design exhibit featuring chairs - so much easier to get kids interested in “useful” things than in pictures. Well, mine, anyway.
The porcelain “balloon dog” was a highlight too!
So for a terrific visit, go to the National Gallery - it’s people like us it’s there for!

yes weren’t the white leggos something to see? I also saw the sneakers exhibition a few weeks ago. I found them entertaining to look at. and you are right. the NGV is there for us we all should go more often.
Thank You
