An exhibition featuring awe-inspiring sculptures.
Sean Kenney‘s Animal Super Powers® Made with LEGO® Bricks, an exhibition featuring awe-inspiring sculptures, is coming to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) Museum of Natural Science (MMNS) from September 26, 2026, through May 2, 2027. From the mind of acclaimed artist, Sean Kenney, Animal Super Powers showcases larger-than-life sculptures of creatures who have adapted to possess their very own “super powers” and invites guests to learn the science behind them. The exhibition is included with Mississippi Museum of Natural Science Foundation Membership or with museum admission of $9 for adults, $7 for youth (3-18), and $8 for seniors ages 60 and up. The exhibition also makes a fantastic field trip opportunity – special group pricing available.
Produced by Imagine, Animal Super Powers incorporates STEAM content that will inspire budding artists, engineers, zoologists, and biologists to expand their imaginations, get curious and explore in an experience that both educates and excites.
The sculptures and exhibits in Animal Super Powers explore amazing animal adaptations such as shapeshifting, super-strength, echolocation, and limb regeneration and asks guests to imagine themselves with the same abilities.
Combining the world’s most beloved toy brick with the mythology of super heroes, Animal Super Powers provides an entertaining platform through which visitors can appreciate the wonders of the natural world.
Tom Zaller, CEO of Imagine Exhibitions shared, “Imagine is proud to partner with Sean Kenney to bring the creative vision of Animal Super Powers to the MS Museum of Natural Science. Sean’s art is gravity-defying, and inspires us to look at ourselves and the world around us with from an incredible new perspective.”
“We know families are looking for experiences that are both fun and meaningful,” said Angel Rohnke, MMNS Director. “Animal Super Powers delivers both. It sparks imagination, encourages learning, and creates opportunities for parents and children to explore the wonders of nature together in a memorable way.”
