Imagine no more — "Relics: A New World Rises" is the theme of Tūhura Otago Museum’s biggest exhibition since the Covid-19 pandemic hit.
Visitors of all ages are invited to immerse themselves in the futuristic world where Lego mini figures thrive and have transformed everyday objects into elaborate and imaginative communities.
The exhibition has been created by Australian Lego masters television show winners Jackson Harvey and Alex Towler, and showcases stunning creations, including a grandfather clock which has been turned into a time machine; a cryonics facility nestled inside a vintage refrigerator; and a retro arcade which has been converted into a futuristic spaceport.
Museum marketing manager Charlie Buchan said it was not just an exhibition, it was an interactive experience.
Visitors can unleash their creativity in the Build Your Own space, engage with Jackson and Alex in Meet the Makers sessions, and embark on a thrilling scavenger hunt to uncover hidden treasures within the displays.
At present, humans are producing and consuming at an unprecedented rate, and many of the products manufactured today will outlive their creators by centuries.
Following record-breaking ticket sales in Australian museums, the exhibition was now set to enchant audiences in Dunedin, Mr Buchan said.
"This exhibition is a game-changer for Dunedin.
"It’s an engaging, thought-provoking experience that’s perfect for families, Lego enthusiasts, and anyone with a sense of wonder.
"We expect it to attract visitors from across the entire motu, especially during the summer school holidays.
"This is the biggest exhibition we’ve hosted post-Covid-19, and we’re thrilled to share it with our community."
The exhibition is set to start on December 1.
