Brickman Awesome: At the Auckland Museum

The Brickman: Awesome at the Auckland Museum exhibition has been running since the start of December 2020.

And around 100,000 people have attended the exhibit to marvel at the works of Ryan 'Brickman' McNaught, one of only 14 certified Brickmen globally.

The latest exhibition has been extended through the next school holidays over Easter and will run until May 2nd, with more people getting the chance to see some of the LEGO exhibits that Ryan has spent hours upon hours designing, drafting plans and creating.

And one of the world's tallest exhibits, made from 450,000 LEGO bricks and at over 7 metres tall, is the NASA SLS rocket.

Newest to the exhibition and capitalising on New Zealand retaining the America's Cup, is a replica of the Team Emirates NZ boat.

It's not just about the builds though, as a video presentation gives you some insight into the work needed to create these pieces as well as some hidden Easter eggs you may miss within the detailed builds.

And there is also the chance for little hands to build their own creations, with plenty of LEGO stations around the site.

The exhibition operates a controlled entry policy, so tickets and times must be booked. All details can be found for bookings aucklandmuseum.com/brickman or Ticketek.co.nz.
