[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Melburnians will be the first people in the world to see a brand new life-size Toyota Camry made entirely from LEGO® bricks at Brickman Awesome, a Lego exhibition at Melbourne Museum Plaza by Ryan ‘The Brickman’ McNaught.
Ryan is the the only LEGO® Certified Professional in the Southern Hemisphere and his Brickman team have spent over 5000 hours making the 39 models for the exhibition.
I am invited to a sneak peek of Brickman Awesome before it opens in Melbourne on Wednesday 21 March at Melbourne Museum Plaza.
Brickman Awesome marks Ryan’s third exhibition made entirely from LEGO® bricks. Some highlights include:
…the largest ever LEGO® Caterpillar 797 dump truck….
…the only life-sized LEGO® Harley Davidson ever made…
…the tallest LEGO® model in the Southern Hemisphere – a NASA SLS rocket standing at a whopping 7.5m tall with an in built lighting system that makes it look like the rocket is blasting off…

And of course, the Toyota Camry, complete with blinking lights (though you can’t get in and drive away!).
Other awesome exhibits include a LEGO® koala, giant orca whale and even a full-sized LEGO® Australian saltwater crocodile.
One of the best parts of visiting the exhibition is noticing the small details.
Do you recognise the movie stars entering Hollywood’s famous Chinese Theatre?…
…Look at who’s taking a photo of me at the Opera House….
While you can’t touch the models the exhibition is still interactive, as visitors can build emperor penguins, display their time machines next to the TARDIS and contribute to Australia’s longest LEGO® model – a giant snake.
Brickman Awesome is just the ticket for Lego fans during the Easter school holidays. Plus you can combine it with a trip to Melbourne Museum for more school holiday fun.
