This isn’t just any LEGO display — it’s a jaw-dropping collection of over 150 art pieces made entirely out of LEGO bricks by American contemporary artist Nathan Sawaya.
You’ll see incredible recreations and reimaginations of famous artworks like Michelangelo’s David, Van Gogh’s Starry Night, and Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, all made from LEGO. The artist has also displayed original works that will blow your mind!
One sculpture to look forward to is the massive 6-metre-long T-Rex skeleton. But that’s not all! The exhibition also features a multimedia LEGO photography collection in collaboration with award-winning photographer Dean West.
I’m sure that your kids (and maybe even you) might be itching to play with some LEGO after gaining so much inspiration. Good news! There’s an interactive play and build area where you can create your own LEGO masterpieces.

3. Chaos Lab: A Creative Experience for Children
If you’ve got kids with wild imaginations, then Chaos Lab at Changi Airport Terminal 2 is the place to be! This interactive laboratory is packed with hands-on fun that unleashes creativity and sparks curiosity in young minds. With 11 different activity stations, there’s something for every little scientist.
At Chaos Lab, a mad scientist and their assistants will guide the kiddos through various rooms, ensuring they have fun while learning. Your kids will be like their interns and undergo exciting experiments.
Dive into the gooey goodness of the slime station, where kids can stretch, squish, and mould colourful slime to their hearts’ content. Uncover your child’s inner Picasso as they make vibrant creations in the neon graffiti zone. Last but not least, get digging with AR Sand, where traditional sandbox play meets augmented reality. As kids shape and build with the sand, colourful projections bring their creations to life.
There’s also the kids’ favourite, the ball pit! It’s a great way for them to burn off energy and enjoy some physical play. Don’t forget to bring socks for this activity though.
