Mini-figures storm the Bellandarium and defend the fortifications of the Archaeological Crypt to tell us, in a fun way, the history of Nice. Well done!
What child hasn't fought fierce battles to capture or defend a sandcastle, made of stone, or brick, with the famous yellow figurines?
Nice, the maritime window of the House of Knowledge, has endured several assaults from its cumbersome neighbor, the King of France. Sometimes victorious, sometimes defeated, the stronghold of Nice has always resisted.
Reality often merges with fiction. Therefore, to shed light on this specific story, the City of Art and History department of Nice called upon the HistoBriques association.
Composed of great fans of history and art, always curious and amazed by ancient objects and heritage sites, they are committed to promoting science and history through LEGO® bricks and minifigures.
With humor and wit, these figurines are excellent cultural mediators: young and old alike play and create adventures.
Archaeological excavations, maritime and land sieges, glorious and dark times... Nissa Briqua will tell us about Nice, not the touristic side, but the military side. Issa Nissa!
