Kids Made Masterpiece... From Legos

We've all heard "my kid could do that!" when a contentious work of art makes its debut, but rarely do we hear that claim about the works of classical masters.

In tandem with the "Masterpieces from the Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis" at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, kids were able to recreate master works at the nearby Legoland Discovery Center. ABC News reports that about 5,000 Lego bricks were used to make Vermeer's famous work.
