The annual sculpture competition returns to the National Building Museum with a transportation theme.

Yesterday, we shared a few images from this year’s Canstruction, featuring a giant metal Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.

Obviously, we were excited to learn in May that the always-popular Canstruction exhibit at the National Building Museum would be returning to D.C. That time has come.

Upon reading this morning’s Week Around the Ists, which featured a photo of some 8-bit can art constructed at a Chicago Whole Foods, DCist reader Brandon Lenk sent us an email. “Just poking the bear a bit,” wrote Lenk, “but I think here in D.C., we are kicking more 8-bit Mario ass than some Whole Foods in Chicago.”
