The New York Public Library keeps delivering the goods as they continue to celebrate their centennial. This time it's the lions getting the tribute... in LEGOs! Our library friends tell us, "the lions will be on display for just the Centennial weekend [that's this weekend] on the Plaza outside the 42 Street building." They will be unveiled by artist Nathan Sawaya this Friday at 10 a.m. (get your free book if you drop by), staying through Sunday at 8 p.m. Let's have some fun with them now, shall we? Here's a photo of one of the LEGO lions (we can't tell if it's Patience or Fortitude)—get thee to Photoshop and give her a fun New York City backdrop! After all, the lions haven't roamed off their perch on 5th Avenue in nearly 100 years.
Send your best work to us at [email protected], or tag them "Gothamist" on Flickr. You can listen to our Gothamist House session with The Walkmen while you work—it was filmed at the library last summer.
