PAST SUMMER EXHIBITIONS
MAIN GALLERY
June 4 – September 3, 2022
This summer the Pearl will be bursting with color and creativity as it showcases works of art by some of the most talented LEGO® brick artists in Houston and across the country.
No Limits: The Artistry of Bricks features more than 20 works that elevate the toy to the realm of contemporary art. Our goal is to introduce visitors to art and architecture in a language they understand, while also demonstrating the potential of imagination and the power of creativity. Some pieces in the exhibition hang on gallery walls; others are 3-dimensional and reach over 7 feet tall. Engineering, math and problem-solving all come into play to create these works of art.
Among the amazing pieces in this exhibition are:
- Chrysalis by Michael “Moto” Kanemoto, a contestant on LEGO® Masters FOX Season 2
- Battle of the Alamo by Adam Bell
- Houston by Houston Brick Club
- Mr. Tiger and Mr. Frumble’s Pickle Car, two works by Jonathan Lopes
- Rainbow Castle by Timothy Howell
- San Jacinto Monument by Robert Roche
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by Dr. Gregory Jonason
- BB-8 Droid by Steven Laughlin
The Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Admission is free!

After being inspired by the artistry of bricks, it’s time to build your own masterpiece! Guests of all ages are invited to build their own brick creations through a special hands-on area of the exhibition sponsored by AAUW North Harris County Branch.

From engineering and science to storytelling and collaborative play, children and families will have the opportunity to play on their own or with one another as they unleash their creativity and problem-solving skills. The Maker Space is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
