Enormous Lego Sphinx showcased in Halifax
September 22, 2008 · Filed Under Egypt Fun, Exhibitions and Meetings
Canadian Lego Certified Professional, Robin Sather, 43, one of just six certified professionals in the world, spent the weekend in Halifax building an enormous Lego Sphinx. The colorful Egyptian iconic structure, which took about 50 hours to complete, is part of the Discovery Centre’s Secret of the Pharaohs exhibit, where scenes from the past, artifacts, and hieroglyphics are entirely made of Lego. Owen Grace, 37, a member of Nova Lug, a group of local Lego enthusiasts, helped Sather build the Sphinx, whose head weighs about 200-pounds. There’s an ongoing contest to guess how many blocks were used.
The exhibit will be at the Discovery Centre until January.
