Here is what the page “LEGO Botanical Wave: 380,000 Plastic Flowers Bloom in Shanghai Oil Tank” contains. An abandoned oil tank in Shanghai has been transformed into a surreal garden of 380,000 LEGO flowers, each one painstakingly assembled from plastic bricks. The installation, titled LEGO Botanical Wave, is on display at TANK Shanghai, a contemporary art museum housed in five repurposed fuel tanks. The sheer scale—nearly 400,000 individual blooms—creates a striking contrast between industrial decay and eternal, un-wilting nature.
The project is a collaboration with the LEGO Group, which supplied the bricks, and was assembled by a team of artists and volunteers. It highlights the growing trend of using modular, reusable materials in large-scale art, and it invites viewers to reconsider the lifecycle of both flowers and plastics. The exhibit runs through the summer, offering a unique photo opportunity and a meditation on permanence in a throwaway culture. The full version stays on the original page, which this listing opens directly.
