Gallery: BrickCon, The biggest LEGO convention we’ve ever seen

Full Story

Last weekend, the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall hosted BrickCon, one of the nation’s largest and longest-running public exhibitions of LEGO art and dioramas. While Ars’ staff suffers from varying levels of LEGO-mania, we all thought this convention’s 13th annual iteration might be a cool place to see a range of amateur and professional block creations.

This year’s show, in particular, caught our eye thanks to a hot tip about a Doom-themed installation, so we rushed in with our camera to snap a few choice hellions, and then we proceeded to catalog much of what we saw at the show. Take a look at our gallery for Technics, trains, war reenactments, pop culture minutiae, castles, space stations, boats, cars, and much more.
