Mount Maunganui to host Lego landmarks

Ryan ‘The Brickman’ McNaught admires one of his 50 models on display at Brickman Wonders of the World at Baypark.

An interactive exhibition featuring some of the world's most iconic landmarks built entirely from Lego is coming to Baypark in Mount Maunganui.

Brickman Wonders of the World will arrive at the Mount in late June, following a successful tour to Wellington, Hamilton and Auckland that saw more than 160,000 people view the exhibition.

Created by Ryan 'The Brickman” McNaught, one of only fourteen Lego-certified professionals in the world, the exhibition is the culmination of 4,944 hours of work.

In all, 50 Lego models will be on display, including recreations of the Taj Mahal, Michelangelo's Statue of David, The Great Wall of China, the Empire State Building (featuring King Kong), the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Arc de Triomphe.

Visitors will be taken on a journey through time, with the opportunity to discover more about each attraction, both in real life and Lego life!

'It's super interactive,” says Ryan, 'with lots of activities for Lego fanatics to get involved in.

'Brickies will have the chance to build a statue of themselves next to the mighty Statue of David and they can also build some Lego cars for the traffic jam around the Arc de Triomphe.

'There's so many hands-on things to get involved with – hopefully all the budding builders out there are up for the challenge!”

Brickman Wonders of the World will be in Mt Maunganui from June 30 –July 22 at Baypark Stadium Lounge. For tickets visit www.ticketek.co.nz and search ‘Brickman'.
