This coming September, an extraordinary exhibition is poised to capture the hearts and minds of museum visitors. “RELICS: A New World Rises” is a compelling mixed-media sculpture display that cleverly melds real-world artefacts with the whimsical universe of LEGO®.

Launching on the 1 September, this refreshingly inspired exhibition shatters conventional expectations, revealing a spellbinding world of complex civilisations, masterfully constructed by the renowned LEGO® minifigures, is coming to Melbourne Museum. With ticket prices starting from $17.50 for children and concessions, and going up to $27.50 for adults, this event offers an unforgettable journey into a forgotten future, crafted brick by glorious brick.

“RELICS: A New World Rises” is far more than an exhibition; it’s a chronicle of resilience and innovation, set in a distant epoch following humanity’s reign. The LEGO® minifigures, rising from the rubble of human existence, repurpose discarded relics as building blocks for their intricate societies, each uniquely inspired by their adopted abode.

Picture a band of resourceful inventors breathing new life into an old grandfather clock, transforming it into a functioning time machine. Or envision a cryonics facility snugly housed within a vintage refrigerator, its mini figures preserved in a frosty stasis as protection against an overheating climate. Consider a retro arcade where airlocks and elevators bind together a series of gaming machines to form a futuristic spaceport. These are just a handful of the 15 meticulously crafted, detail-packed worlds awaiting discovery in “RELICS: A New World Rises”.

Each intricately detailed environment reveals more of the narrative the longer you look, capturing the imagination and sparking curiosity in a way that’s truly unparalleled. Step into a LEGO® world where the relics of the past ignite the promise of an enchanting future.
