Opening on Star Wars Day, 4 May, at the Melbourne Museum, this world-first experience, created by Ryan ‘Brickman’ McNaught – the only LEGO Certified Professional in the southern hemisphere – is the largest-ever collection of life-sized LEGO Star Wars models ever assembled.
“Building the Star Wars universe from LEGO has been a dream project. We’ve gone bigger than ever before and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve built. LEGO Star Wars: The Exhibition takes some of the most iconic moments from the saga and reimagines them at a scale that’s never been done before with LEGO bricks,” says McNaught.
“The detail, the size and the sheer number of bricks used to make this exhibition is something truly special. Whether you’re a lifelong Star Wars fan or just love to build, it’s an experience that everyone can enjoy.”
