The Brick Classicists Empire Portraits
​
Currently, the growing Brick Classicists Empire or BCE (previously Lego Classicists) consists of over 100 mini figure portraits made from LEGO System parts including Prof. Dame Mary Beard (Cambridge University and TV broadcaster), Stephen Fry (actor, TV broadcaster and author), Prof. Massimo Osanna (Director General of Museums, Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism, Italy), Prof. Dimitrios Pandermelis (former Director, Acropolis Museum), Joanna Lumley (actor and TV broadcaster), Barack Obama (44th President of the United States of America), Dr. Kara Cooney (Egyptologist and TV broadcaster), Prof. John Bennet (former Director, British School at Athens), Raksha Dave (archaeologist and TV broadcaster) and Bettany Hughes (author and TV broadcaster).
​
BCE Categories
These guidelines were developed after the first year of making LEGO portraits when it became clear that this project would continue to grow and a set of 3 categories was decided to ensure the long-term consistency of the project as well as making sure the greatest amount of diversity could be covered in the world of Classics.
