From two veritable Lego masterminds (and winners of the hit reality TV show competition) comes a unique and playful exhibition, combining intricate Lego creations with antique artefacts.
Relics: A New World Rises is the latest exhibition at Melbourne Museum that combines large-scale LEGO creations with vintage treasures to create an innovative spectacle.
Set in the year 2530, the exhibition imagines a post-human world where tiny Lego people have risen from the ashes and craft their civilisations inside forgotten human objects and vintage treasures.
The exhibition was born from the masterminds of Channel 9's Lego Masters winners of season two, Jackson Harvey and Alex Towler, who've designed ginormous building block creations in unusual and unexpected places with a retro-futuristic theme.
Visitors will wander in awe at highly-detailed, entire Lego cities under the hood of a Beetle car, a vintage jukebox, a piano, arcade game machines and so much more.
“The Lego minifigures are the plastic puppets of our stories, and we’ve had so much fun constructing hundreds of narratives with them," says exhibition creative director Jackson Harvey. "We hope people are able to find these stories, and create some of their own. Relics is a very weird love child between an antique shop, the Lego movie and Blade Runner.”
The perfect combination of nostalgic and playful, the exhibition is sure to impress and delight the whole family. Find out more on the website.
