Lego Exhibit at the Museum Of Surrey

Leave a comment

If you are anywhere near Cloverdale, go check out the LEGO exhibit at the Museum of Surrey! (Oct 2023 to Mar 2024)

The Museum is currently home to a fantastic LEGO exhibit. About 35 members of the VLC.ca (adult club) contributed different aspects to bring it all together, with amazing curation and tech support from the Museum staff.

The exhibit is a brief history of LEGO and mainly a celebration of the classic era, 1978 to the mid 90s.

During these years, LEGO introduced the “Minifigure” that we all know and love, and launched the first “themes”, such as Space and Castle. The era sort of ended when LEGO hit financial troubles and really ended in 1999 when they bounced back from the edge of Bankruptcy with the new Star Wars theme and started gearing most of the sets toward licensed pop culture content.

My contributions were mostly in Castle theme, where I did a lot of landscaping, foliage and story telling with figures.

Missed the show? Check out this virtual walk through.

Building the Exhibit at the New West Museum

Leave a comment

The entire team at the VLC (Vancouver’s Adult LEGO® Club) has been working tirelessly to build a transportation exhibit for the Museum of New Westminster called ‘People Gotta Move’.

Every giant LEGO display starts with a good foundation. Why cheat and use plywood you might ask? Well, in order to set up all the cars and mini figures, we had to be able to walk down the streets during set up.

And here is the same wooden table with a few layers of LEGO added.

I totally recommend checking this exhibit out. The Museum is a 2 minute walk away from the New West Skytrain Station; and entry is by donation.
