Ryan ‘The Brickman’ McNaught’s latest creation is powered by LEGO® CITY and focuses on some of the world’s greatest cities such as Dubai, London, New York, Sydney and Tokyo.
McNaught is the only LEGO® Certified Professional in the Southern Hemisphere and one of only 14 in the world and thus this pop-up exhibition is truly something amazing and captivating for the entire family.
The interactive exhibition features Brickman’s trademark cut-away detailed models representing three different stages of each city’s history, from 1000AD up to the present day and shows how each has evolved and grown. Every person that comes along then builds a new version of that city and what they think it will look like in the future!
The centrepiece of Brickman Cities is a 3m x 4m 1:600 scale model of Lower Manhattan, New York, built entirely from white LEGO® bricks to enable 3D stories of the city to be projected directly onto them using UHD 4K projectors. The 3D story of Lower Manhattan takes visitors from the days of the First People’s villages amongst the swamps of the River Delta right up until the present day.
Part WOW factor, part educational, Brickman Cities took over 1,500 hours to build and used over 900,000 LEGO® bricks, with the team spending a further 250 hours developing sophisticated 3D projections that bring the hero city, New York to life.
Until Feb 10. Entertainment Quarter, 122 Lang Rd, Moore Park. $14.50-$59.50+b.f. Tickets & Info: www.thebrickman.com/cities
