A–Z Figurine Cases

ABC: Awesome Black Creativity celebrates contemporary and historical Black creatives across disciplines. Follow the inspiring stories through 26+ figurines — at least one for each letter of the alphabet, with words written by Richard Dryden and art built by Dave Kaleta.

Explore literacy with alphabetized displays, and engage in reading the story behind each inspired figurine.

The Visitor Display Shelf allows a place for guests to exhibit their creations alongside the ABC figurines.

 

Building Stations

The Self-Portrait Station provides the perfect place to observe and create! Make yourself or someone who inspires you out of LEGO® bricks.

The Place-Making Station, with topographical tables, allows you to build a place or space of your own.

The Free-Play Station promotes creativity in building and playing in any way you’d like!

The Book-Making Station ties the other three stations together, culminating in a story that YOU tell.

The DUPLO® Station is specially designed for the youngest visitors.
