Building on Lego success
THE Brick City exhibition at Maid- stone Museumwas a huge success, with more than 1,000 people flood- ing through the doors of the mu- seum most days throughout the summer.
Organisers were overwhelmed
with the response – even the Thurs- day “lates” when visitors were en- couraged to take part in a Lego-building challenge. More than 140 people took part
in the challenge, devising fantastic moving miniatures and replicas of everything from cars to cameras. Parents and grandparents teamed
up with their offspring for what proved to be a real family event and a boost to museum figures. Laura Dickson told the Town Centre Management meeting that the event was “phenomenal” and would be a hard act to follow. She said: “The challenge was to
devise a piece of Lego judged on originality, strength and durability which could be a likeness to some- thing in the museum collection. “We had everything from a grandfather clock, with moving pieces, to a working camera.” The council is looking at “Trea-
sures from Trash” for next summer – an exhibition of items made from recycled products.
