If your kids (or you) are obsessed with LEGO or Star Wars, get ready.
The galaxy’s first-ever LEGO Star Wars: The Exhibition is at Melbourne Museum from Fri 19 Dec – Mon 26 Jan 2026 and we reckon it’s a blockbuster outing for families.
LEGO Star Wars Exhibition Melbourne
This world premiere experience has been built by LEGO Certified Professional and LEGO Masters judge Ryan ‘Brickman’ McNaught and his team.
There are more than 8 million LEGO bricks in the exhibition! Expect jaw-dropping, life-sized models of your favourite characters, droids, and starships, as well as interactive zones where you can build your own creations – including a lightsaber hilt!
Here’s a closer look at what you need to know before you visit.
LEGO Star Wars Exhibition Melbourne: What to Expect
This isn’t your typical “look but don’t touch” museum exhibition. LEGO Star Wars: The Exhibition invites kids (and grown-ups!) to get hands-on.
Your little builders can create their own Star Wars-inspired LEGO masterpieces, help construct enormous brick-built landscapes.
There are digital stations too, where kids can watch their creations come to life on screen and pick a side—Light or Dark—as they face off against friends in galactic challenges.
Expect to Be Starstruck—Even by the Droids
The life-sized LEGO builds are nothing short of incredible.
You’ll find iconic characters and moments from across the Star Wars galaxy, spanning both the original films and the newer series.
One of the highlights? The Droid Hall of Fame.
Yes, C-3PO is there. And no, you won’t believe he’s made entirely from LEGO and built using a custom ‘Pearl Gold’ colour designed specifically for the exhibition.
For kids (and parents) who’ve dreamed of seeing an X-Wing or the Death Star up close—this is your chance.
The giant spinning LEGO Death Star, complete with tiny details built into the structure, is a real wow moment!
My favourite displays are the lightsabers. At the build station, you can design your own lightsaber’s hilt, attach it to a Bluetooth widget and watch yourself wield your lightsaber!
I don’t understand how the technology works but it is a VERY cool effect!
If your kids love LEGO Masters on TV, this is that level of creativity, brought to life with Star Wars flair.
And if you’re not a Star Wars fan? You can still appreciate the artistry and work that’s gone into building the many LEGO displays.
There are also a number of Grogu/Baby Yoda minifigs hidden throughout the display. Count how many there are and go in the draw to win awesome LEGO prizes!
I also think the general exhibition design is impressive – it’s highly immersive. You just won’t know the characters or understand some of the storylines described!
It’s Made Right Here in Melbourne
There’s something extra special about knowing this entire exhibition was designed and built right here at Brickman HQ in Melbourne. It took over 25,000 hours to complete and will debut at Melbourne Museum before touring internationally.
That means Melbourne families are the first in the world to see it. If you’ve got LEGO fans at home, this is one of those “we were there first” moments worth bragging about!
LEGO Star Wars Gift Shop
As you’d expect the exit via the gift shop is pretty exciting for both LEGO and Star Wars fans alike.
There are many LEGO Star Wars sets available, as well as dress-ups, soft plush toys, stationery and general merchandise. Look at these cute money boxes!

LEGO Star Wars Exhibition – Plan Your Visit
Dates: Fri 19 Dec – Mon 26 Jan 2026
Location: Melbourne Museum, Carlton
Tickets: On sale NOW
Flexible Entry – Child $28
Flexible Entry – Adult $42
Flexible Entry – Family (Admits 4) – $115
Tip: Tickets include general admission to the museum, so you can combine the exhibition with a visit to the children’s gallery or other Melbourne Museum exhibitions. This is the best value.
Duration: Expect to spend 60+ minutes inside. Longer if you linger over the details and stop to build at every station.
Busy times: Expect weekends and school holidays to be packed—especially during the exhibition’s opening month. If you can swing a weekday visit, you’ll likely get more breathing room.
Ages: While the exhibition is designed to appeal to all ages, it’s particularly great for primary school-aged kids and up. There’s plenty to keep little ones entertained, but older kids (and their Star Wars-loving parents) will appreciate the finer details.
Food & breaks: There’s an on-site café with kid-friendly options, but packing a few snacks never hurts. You can also picnic in Carlton Gardens just outside the museum entrance—a great way to let off some post-LEGO excitement.
Whether you’ve got a little Padawan at home or a teen who grew up building LEGO sets on the living room floor, LEGO Star Wars: The Exhibition is a family day out that’s set to impress.
So embrace the nostalgia, get your tickets, and prepare for an out-of-this-world experience right here in Melbourne.
