Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi is launching a LEGO-themed exhibition on August 21, billed as a world-first collaboration with LEGO SHOWS.
Titled Natural Brickstory, the limited-time experience spans 13.8 billion years of natural history across themed zones covering Earth’s history, wildlife and the cosmos.
The format is interactive throughout. Visitors work through collaborative LEGO brick building activities, with each zone tied to the museum’s scientific collections and specimens. Trails and workshops are included, with the museum promising further programme additions in the coming weeks.
“Play is fundamental to learning and discovery. It sparks curiosity, fuels imagination, and nurtures creativity – the very qualities that drive scientific exploration. Through our collaboration with LEGO® SHOWS Natural Brickstory, we are putting play, creativity, and imagination at the heart of the visitor experience. We are building a strong foundation for the next generation of scientists and stewards of our natural world,” Dr. Peter C. Kjærgaard, Director of Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi said in a statement.
“The most impactful partnerships are those that inspire people to see familiar places through a new lens. Through LEGO® SHOWS, we are inviting everyone, from first-time visitors to dedicated LEGO® enthusiasts, to experience the museum in an entirely new way. Natural Brickstory seamlessly blends the universal appeal of LEGO® creativity with the museum’s rich scientific narratives, creating an immersive journey that extends throughout our galleries and sparks curiosity, imagination, and discovery for visitors of all ages,” Alia AlHammadi, Acting Partnership and Commercial Department Director at Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi added.
Natural Brickstory opens on August 21. Weekday hours run from 10 am to 6:30 pm, with extended hours until 8:30 pm on weekends. Tickets are available via the museum’s website.
