About RELICS: A New World Rises

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.

Accessibility and Sensory Considerations

  • CMAG and the RELICS exhibition is fully wheelchair accessible. CMAG has accessible bathrooms, a café, ample seating, and is a designated Hidden Disabilities Sunflower location.

  • CMAG staff are available during all opening hours to assist all visitors with access and facility use.

  • CMAG offers self-service lockers for personal belonging such as backpacks and large bags.

  • The RELICS exhibition is located on the ground floor of CMAG.

  • RELICS is totally indoors, across two levels, with ramp and stair access between the two levels and fully air-conditioned.

  • Food and drink are not allowed inside the RELICS exhibition space. You may take bottled water into the exhibition gallery

  • Visitors to RELICS are able to move freely within the space and can move back and forth between exhibits at their own pace.

  • The RELICS experience consists of visual and auditory components, as well as a hands-on, build-your-own activity space.

  • Some exhibits feature flashing lights. There are no strobe lights within the exhibition but there is a very short, strobe effect animation in the introductory video.

  • RELICS features some low level ambient music.

  • There is an audio guide available here: https://www.relicsexhibitions.com/audio-description-tour or via QR code in the exhibition. Access to the audio guide requires a BYO smart device.
