Audain Art Museum

What does art have to do with LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Methods? Quite a bit!

First, let me tell you about the Audain. This beautiful art museum is 56,000 square feet and houses nearly 200 permanent collection works of art from coastal British Columbia. Along with amazing works of art from the 18th century to the present, the collection contains works by First Nations, Emily Carr, E. J. Hughes, Gordon Smith, Jack Shadbolt, and more.

“Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.”
