Magnolia Plantation & Gardens is bringing a bold new experience to the Lowcountry this summer with Nature POP!®, an exhibition by acclaimed artist Sean Kenney. Opening May 23 through August 15, 2025, this exhibit will feature more than 40 larger-than-life sculptures made entirely of LEGO® bricks, celebrating the beauty of nature through an exciting pop-art lens.

Produced by Imagine, Nature POP!® brings together art, science and innovation in a fun yet thought-provoking way, offering a playful spin on traditional sculptural art. Constructed from over 800,000 LEGO® pieces, these gravity-defying sculptures will be placed throughout Magnolia, where their colorful designs will create a striking contrast against the garden’s historic beauty.

“We are thrilled to bring artist Sean Kenney’s Nature POP!®: Made with LEGO® bricks to Magnolia,” said Susan Shallo, CEO of Magnolia Plantation & Gardens. “Just as our historic gardens offer something for everyone, this exhibition merges art, innovation, and nature to create a truly dynamic and immersive experience.”

Guests can explore the installation daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. starting May 23 through August 15, 2025. Exhibit access is included with general garden admission. General admission tickets are Adults $35; Seniors (62+), Military, and Teachers (with ID) $32; Youth (12-17) $21; Children (5-11) $17; Ages 4 and under free (ticket required).
