Hello BCMA Collegues,

Annual LEGO® Brick exhibit at the Sidney Museum opens December 20

Sidney, British Columbia, December 18, 2024 - The Sidney Museum and
Archives is delighted to announce the return of its annual LEGO® Brick
Exhibition! Back for its 19th consecutive year, the exhibit will open to
the public on December 20th and will run until March 30, 2025.

Hundreds of LEGO® creations will be displayed throughout the Museum, many
of which play into this year’s subtheme, A Hidden World. Walk through the
gallery to see hidden details and unique angles that highlight the
attention-to-detail employed in the creation of LEGO® sets. Visitors can
anticipate returning displays drawing from themes such as Architecture,
Star Wars™, and Lord of the Rings™ alongside new featured sets like
Notre-Dame de Paris, Jaws, plants and animals, and much more!

Also new to the exhibit is a “Community Creations” display, where visitors
can enter to  display their custom LEGO® creations for everyone to enjoy
for one month of the exhibit. The Sidney Museum is still accepting
submissions. To learn more and enter a creation visit
sidneymuseum.ca/programs/lego-community-creations.

Interpretation throughout the Museum will highlight the history of the
hobby, how it gained its widespread popularity, and fascinating facts about
specific sets on display. Popular activities such as our Museum-wide
scavenger hunt and “Guess the Bricks contest” will also be returning.

Whether reconnecting with an old hobby or continuing your LEGO® adventures,
Sidney Museum’s exhibition is sure to delight and inspire visitors of all
ages this winter!

The Sidney Museum and Archives is located at 2423 Beacon Avenue, in the
lower level of the Olde Post Office building. The Museum is open seven days
a week from 10:00am - 4:00pm. Entrance is by donation. Please visit the
