What is Brickmania Toyworks?
The Brickmania Toyworks is located in a repurposed WW2 armaments factory the heart of the Northeast Minneapolis arts district. We have a large collection of permanent and rotating collection of models, dioramas, sculptures and mosaics made of LEGO® bricks. These are in. We also have a large collection of bricks in our play area, including a DUPLO assortment for the younger kids, and we invite you stay and create a while.
