Last weekend, under a persistent rain, I persuaded Joel to accompany me to an exhibition, for which the admission was thirty-five Australian dollars per person. The venue was teeming with children—so many, in fact, that it quite diminished the enjoyment of the experience. Joel was particularly vexed by the presence of plastic panel barriers before most exhibits, which rendered it impossible to capture clear photographs.
In his frustration, he hastened our departure, and we made our way to Mensho Ramen in the Central Business District. There, we endured a queue of nearly forty-five minutes in the open air before partaking in a bowl of richly stewed pork bone broth—without noodles, of course, as both of us are presently adhering to a ketogenic diet.
Joel possesses a far greater familiarity with the Star Wars franchise than I. In an effort to redress this disparity, I have undertaken to rewatch the entire series, hoping at last to comprehend the intricacies of its narrative—an endeavour long postponed due to the many years I devoted to specialist examinations and the pursuit of my professional career.
In 2025, Melbourne Museum proudly hosts the world premiere of LEGO® Star Wars: The Exhibition, a groundbreaking collaboration between LEGO® Certified Professional Ryan 'Brickman' McNaught and the iconic Star Wars franchise. This immersive exhibition, running from May 4th to January 26th, 2026, showcases over 8 million LEGO® bricks meticulously assembled into life-sized models of beloved characters, starships, and scenes from across the Star Wars universe. Highlights include a towering four-metre-high AT-AT and the iconic X-wing Red 5, constructed from 64,759 bricks over 382 hours. Visitors can engage in interactive zones, participate in hands-on building activities, and explore the Droid Hall of Fame, featuring a shimmering C-3PO crafted from 'Pearl Gold' LEGO® bricks. This exhibition offers fans of all ages a unique opportunity to experience the Star Wars galaxy through the creative lens of LEGO® artistry

Professional Lego builders are extraordinarily talented. Such an exhibition was bound to be rammed with excited children.
ReplyDeleteApparently they used AI to programme how to build the characters too
DeleteWonderful photos of this amazing exhibition, dear friend. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNice to do in a rainy day
DeleteThis should have been a fun exhibit to visit. Many of these characters are familiar, but a few not so much. Guess I mostly know the early movies. Too bad about the crowds of children. This exhibit seems unusually expensive to visit.
ReplyDeleteKids exert deafening noise and giggle.
DeleteThat sounds and looks like an impressive exhibition. I've never managed to "get into" the Star Wars series myself. I think I've watched the first film twice (decades apart), but then gave up half way through No 2 and never picked it up again...
ReplyDeleteBack in the days of career advancement, my only guilty pleasure in life is watching movies like this
DeleteBonita selección de Legos.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
Treasures of the week
DeleteLos niños disfrutarán con ella.
ReplyDeleteThe kids just want to destroy them
DeleteBeautiful detail photo
ReplyDeleteI only brought two lenses to here: 135mm and 35mm
DeleteThese are AMAZING! It looks like there are no barriers at all, thanks to your talented photography. My favorite is the first one. They did a good job with the lighting as well. Too bad about all the children!
ReplyDeleteIt is a paradise for the fans
DeleteThank you for all these super photos! I have been a fan of the franchise and recognized Ahsoka Tano and all the other wonderful characters. I can understand Joel's frustration with the glass. I have felt the same way with other exhibits at times.
ReplyDeleteI subscribed Disney channel just to finish watching all the star war movies
DeleteSome of the human like figures are really so cleverly done.
ReplyDeleteThese are very impressive.
ReplyDeleteLooks very clever! Kids like Legos and they like Star Wars so I can see why it drew a crowd.
ReplyDeleteI love Star Wars, and these Lego constructions are amazing!
ReplyDeleteAmazing Lego creations!
ReplyDeleteLegos, they have made a big comeback these past few years or more.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are good and it's amazing how people can put the Legos together to make anything.
Bern a while since I played with lego.
ReplyDeleteNot too up on Star Wars either. The figures are great. My daughter loves Lego and we go to some of these exhibitions. Is 35 a good price?
ReplyDeleteIt looks all fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThe original three were it for me. What I saw of the others left me disappointed.
ReplyDelete...it's amazing what can be made with LEGOs. Your imagination is the limit!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool LEGO exhibit, it is amazing what people can build with LEGOS.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a wonderful day!
This is simply amazing. How on earth do they build such accurate characters with those tiny little blocks of plastic.
ReplyDeleteSuch talent. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. ☺
It looks like a fun exhibit.
ReplyDeleteUnas grandes recreaciones con piezas de lego de la serie de la guerra de las galaxias.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
These are amazing!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't you love to be a brickman?! Love the Leia one!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ☺
That was amazing
ReplyDeleteThese Lego builders are so talented, and patient. I can see why the plastic shields and all the children but it is annoying if you are just there to enjoy and take photos.
ReplyDeleteHappy MosaicMonday...
ReplyDelete...and thank you very much for sharing and being part at MosaicMonday Linkparty.
By the way: we are near Günzburg, where the LEGO Museum is, called Lego-Land
