Headline: RAW VIDEO: Giant LEGO Dinosaurs Bring Jurassic World To Queensland Museum
Caption: LEGO artist Ryan ‘Brickman’ McNaught and his team are transforming the Queensland Museum into a brick-based Jurassic World this Christmas and beyond. More than 15 dinosaurs will roar into the Museum - in an exhibit which will open on 8 December 2023. Brickman’s exhibit is the largest LEGO exhibition in Australian history with over 50 large-scale dinosaurs, props, scenes, and activities made from over 6 million LEGO bricks. McNaught says: “Brisbane fans will be blown away by the scale of the experience - some of these models are the most complex and challenging ones we have made to date, so being able to bring them to Brisbane is just fantastic. “We have created and used new techniques and committed thousands of hours to build these models that I am personally incredibly proud of.” The Brickman is a highly skilled team of LEGO brick model builders and craftspeople, led by McNaught - one of the world’s leading LEGO brick artists, star judge of the hit TV show LEGO Masters Australia, and the only LEGO Certified Professional in the southern hemisphere. The Brickman team has crafted intricate models, including a life-sized LEGO brick Brachiosaurus weighing over 2 tonnes. Explorers will encounter a range of dinosaurs, from Pteranodons to Velociraptors and the iconic T. rex. They can visit a baby dinosaur enclosure, and learn how to track dinosaurs across the island before encountering escaped Velociraptors Blue and Delta. Queensland Museum Network CEO Dr Jim Thompson adds: “Dinosaurs have taken over Queensland Museum in 2023 and we are pleased to welcome this extraordinary exhibition to the museum to round out what has been a year of the dinosaur. “This Summer our visitors will be able to travel to Isla Nublar and experience one of the world’s most iconic movie franchises through LEGO bricks.” The exhibition is set to run until July 2024. Visitors will walk through 4-metre-tall Jurassic World gates, explore the lab where dinosaurs are genetically engineered, and marvel at the exhibits, activities, and challenges, including hands-on building adventures and learning to track dinosaurs. With 2.5 million bricks available for creativity, the exhibition promises an unforgettable experience for Jurassic World and LEGO enthusiasts of all ages. Queensland’s Minister for Arts Leeanne Enoch said the state’s extraordinary dinosaur history, which continues to be unearthed, makes Queensland Museum the ideal host for Jurassic World by Brickman.
