RELICS: A New World Rises is an immersive exhibition where vintage objects become homes for intricate miniature worlds built from LEGO® bricks. 

 A refrigerator becomes a cryogenic wellness resort. A Volkswagen Beetle powers an underground energy revolution. A grandfather clock becomes a time machine. Across more than 15 large-scale installations, tiny civilisations have adapted to the objects left behind by humanity, each one filled with hidden details, layered narratives and unexpected humour. 

 Created by LEGO® Masters winners Jackson Harvey and Alex Towler, RELICS combines sculpture, design, storytelling and nostalgia into an experience unlike a traditional museum exhibition or typical LEGO® display. The deeper you look, the more you discover. 

 Set in an imagined future where humans have abandoned Earth, the exhibition playfully explores creativity, consumer culture, sustainability and the objects we leave behind. 

 Loved by all, from ages 0–99, RELICS invites visitors to slow down, look closer, and rediscover the joy of curiosity and imagination.
