The Art of Brick by Nathan Sawaya Definitely one of the highlights of our stay in the Amsterdam. I have been a fan of Nathan Sawaya since I first saw his amazing pieces on the internet. So when I saw that he had his exhibit in Amsterdam, I made it a point to go. He has already exhibited in Asia and skipped the Philippines. So I was not going to let this opportunity pass me by.

If you have kids bring them. THIS I COMMAND. [ http://www.amsterdamexpo.nl/en/art-brick/ ] P.S. follow Nathan Sawaya on [ twitter ] and [ instagram ]
