The Queensland Museum’s Brickman Wonders of the World LEGO exhibition has already broken attendance records.
Minister for the Arts, Leeanne Enoch said the exhibition, featuring 50 displays and more than 1.3 million LEGO bricks, opened last Friday (18 June).
“At a time when we cannot travel to see the wonders of the world ourselves, this exciting exhibition is just the ticket to view international icons without leaving Brisbane,” Ms Enoch said.
She said that even before the opening, Queensland Museum had sold 7,400 tickets, breaking the venue’s pre-sale records.
Ms Enoch said this exhibition was the perfect way for individuals and families to have school holiday fun.
“This exhibition promises to be a hands-on journey through history with these LEGO brick masterpieces, including Big Ben, the Titanic, the Space Shuttle, the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids of Giza, the Arc de Triomphe and Queensland’s own natural wonder of the world, the Great Barrier Reef,” she said.
“So much work has gone into this exhibition.
“The 50 displays took the team 4,922 hours — or 205 days — to build.”
Ms Enoch urged visitors to get into the fun, as the exhibition featured one million LEGO bricks for people to build their own creations.
Brickman Wonders of the World runs until 4 October.
