Debuting Memorial Day Weekend, Magnolia Plantation & Gardens welcomes Sean Kenney’s Nature POP!: Made with LEGO® bricks for the summer!

For generations, visitors have come to Magnolia Plantation & Gardens to immerse themselves in the beauty of the Lowcountry. Now, beginning Memorial Day weekend Friday, May 23, through Friday, August 15, 2025, we invite you to experience nature in an entirely new way with Nature POP!®, an awe-inspiring exhibition by acclaimed artist Sean Kenney. This highly anticipated outdoor exhibit features more than 40 larger-than-life sculptures, made entirely of LEGO® bricks. These vibrant creations celebrate the beauty of nature through a striking pop-art lens, blending bold colors, imaginative designs, and intricate craftsmanship to transform Magnolia’s gardens into an immersive outdoor gallery.

Art and Nature, Reimagined

Produced by Imagine, Nature POP!® merges art, science, and innovation in a way that is both playful and thought-provoking. Built from over 800,000 LEGO® pieces, these gravity-defying sculptures will be placed throughout the gardens, offering a dynamic contrast against Magnolia’s timeless beauty. Whether you're looking for a new family activity, exploration with friends, or simply seeking a fresh perspective on the natural world, this exhibition invites you to experience Magnolia like never before. From a majestic fox standing tall in bright hues to vibrant birds frozen in mid-flight, the exhibit invites guests of all ages to explore the interconnectedness of nature—just as LEGO® bricks fit together to create something greater. Each display highlights relationships within the natural world, from the delicate balance between predators and prey to the nurturing bonds between species and humankind’s impact on the environment. Interactive content enhances the experience with scientific facts, deepening visitors' understanding of these natural connections. Beyond their playful designs, these sculptures tell a deeper story—one of the delicate balance of ecosystems, the connections between species, and the importance of conservation. Interactive signage throughout the exhibit offers insight into how these creatures thrive in their environments.
