We have Ole Kirk Christiansen, a carpenter from Billund, Denmark, to thank for creating the first Lego block in 1932. If not for Christiansen’s skill and imagination, the world would have missed out on enjoying the fabulous Lego creations we see today.The love of Legos has endured the test of time and these toys have fans of all ages around the world. These popular and versatile toys have also become an artistic medium. Aside from creating amazing original works of art, artists have also recreated famous artwork using Lego blocks.
Click on the link above to see Lego recreations of some of the most famous paintings, photographs and architecture of all time.

Some things legos are great with,like building houses for poor people,but when using legos for art,you have to be semi careful how you set stuff up,or things just look weird! In any case...This is worth a few laughs & it's actually pretty clever!
