| A mosaic made of Lego installed in the Marks and Spencers in Leicester to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landings. A number of themes run through this installation: the mosaic draws from Roman Leicester, but has been given a modern flavour in being made of Lego, while Leicester has for years been associated with aerospace in the United Kingdom, notably being home to the National Space Centre. |
