Australia gallery collects Lego for Ai Weiwei

An Australian gallery has set up a collection point for Lego for a work by artist Ai Weiwei, after the Danish company refused a bulk order from him.
The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) wants Australians to donate the toy bricks by pouring them through the sunroof of a car parked at the gallery.
It is hosting an exhibition by Ai and Andy Warhol in December.
Lego has said it has a long-standing policy not to provide its bricks for works making political statements.

Ai is a high-profile critic of his home country, China. He has used Lego to create portraits of other famous dissidents, such as Nelson Mandela and Edward Snowden.
He has called Lego's decision not to sell him their product an "act of censorship and discrimination".
The NGV said its collection point was the first to be set up outside Beijing.
The Melbourne gallery said the bricks would go to "towards a new project being developed by the artist".
