Bricks of Olympus

See ancient myth brought to life in brick form, created by LEGO® masterminds Jake Roos and Emily Fryer.

See ancient myth brought to life in ‘Bricks of Olympus’ at the UC Teece Museum. Created by LEGO® masterminds Jake Roos and Emily Fryer, this brick-shaped tribute to the gods will feature ancient myth as its story telling heart. Marvel at the large-scale automated theatre, constructed from LEGO® bricks, telling the epic adventure of Odysseus – monsters and shipwrecks galore!

Explore the dynamics of brick construction with our minifigure legions, who are demonstrating the principles of simple machines in motion around the gallery. More levers, wheels, pulleys, inclined planes, wedges, and screws than you can throw a lightning bolt at. 

Whether you are into building brick masterpieces, or are fascinated by the construction of ancient myth, this is the exhibition for you!
