THE world-first LEGO Star Wars: The Exhibition has officially landed at Melbourne Museum, inviting visitors on an immersive journey through the Star Wars Galaxy, brick by brick.
Opening on Star Wars Day, May the Fourth, this unique experience, created by Shepparton’s-own Ryan ‘Brickman’ McNaught, is the largest ever collection of life-sized LEGO Star Wars models ever assembled.
Raised in Shepparton, Ryan has gone on to become the only LEGO® Certified Professional in the Southern Hemisphere and one of just 21 globally. His latest project is his most ambitious yet: a world-first exhibition featuring over 8M LEGO bricks, more than 25,000 hours of building, and life-sized recreations of some of Star Wars’ most iconic scenes.
“Growing up in Shepparton, I never imagined that one day I’d be creating a world-first LEGO Star Wars exhibition right here in Victoria,” said Ryan ‘Brickman’. “It’s a real full-circle moment for me, and something I’m incredibly proud of. This exhibition is about bringing imagination to life on a massive scale and it’s something Star Wars fans, LEGO enthusiasts and families can enjoy together.”
Ryan, who is one of the world’s leading LEGO brick artists and the judge on Australian TV show, LEGO Masters Australia, said that building the Star Wars universe from LEGO has been a dream project.
“We’ve gone bigger than ever before and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve built,” he said.
“The detail, the size, and the sheer number of bricks used to make this exhibition is something truly special. Whether you’re a lifelong Star Wars fan or just love to build, it’s an experience that everyone can enjoy.”
In this new Star Wars exhibition, visitors will be the first in the world to step into life-sized recreations of iconic Star Wars moments, meticulously built from LEGO® bricks, and engage in hands-on experiences, from helping build large-scale Star Wars LEGO® landscapes to taking part in interactive digital activities inspired by epic space battles.
