If you’ve got a LEGO-mad kid (or you are the LEGO-mad one), this is the ultimate school-holiday adventure. We cannot wait to go and experience RELICS: A New World Rises with our family!
Created by former LEGO® Masters champions Jackson Harvey and Alex Towler, RELICS turns ordinary objects into extraordinary LEGO worlds. Imagine:
🔹 A fridge transformed into a cryogenic health resort
🔹 A typewriter running a bustling newspaper empire
🔹 A Volkswagen Beetle powering a futuristic energy revolution
Every build is packed with Minifigure mischief, playful storytelling, and tiny details that will have you looking twice… and smiling every time.
See It Before 26 January
This isn’t just another exhibition—RELICS closes on 26 January 2026, so now’s the time to plan your visit. With strong crowds expected over the school holidays, book early to make sure you don’t miss out!
RELICS Highlights
- 14 massive displays combining vintage objects with LEGO creations
- Interactive LEGO build zone—create your own miniature worlds
- Custom scavenger hunts for kids and adults alike
- A futuristic story set in 2130, where LEGO societies rise from the remains of a human-free world
More to Explore at the Australian Museum
The fun doesn’t stop with RELICS! Over the summer holidays, the museum is also hosting two free spectacular photographic exhibitions:
- Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year – extraordinary images of the natural world
- Unfinished Business – the stories of 30 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living with disabilities across Australia
Plus, visitors can explore the stunning permanent galleries: Dinosaurs, Minerals, Birds of Australia, and award-winning First Nations galleries including Garrigarrang, Wansolmoana, and the Burra play space.
A Story in Every Brick
Jackson and Alex have poured years into this passion project, giving every Minifigure its own story. The result? A playful, imaginative, and surprisingly thoughtful world you’ll get lost in—together as a family.
