Ai Weiwei Recreates Canonical Works of Western Art Using Lego Bricks

While Galleria Continua occupies spaces all over the world, including Beijing, Havana, São Paulo, and Rome, its beating heart is in a former 1930s cinema in San Gimignano, the Tuscan hill town encircled with 13th-century walls that boasts a number of extraordinary medieval towers. Here, the gallery hosts a major artist every summer, this year being no exception, and its intriguing interior and garden—with a spectacular view over the Tuscan landscape—is filled with the work of Ai Weiwei.
