LEGO Pompeii – Rising Up From The Ashes

Offering a fascinating take on a real life historical site, the ruined city of Pompeii will be depicted in its miniature form made by humble LEGO pieces. This intricate creation will be revealed in January 2015 at the Nicholson Museum of the Sydney University and travellers in search of Sydney CBD accommodation within easy reach of the venue can consider staying at Oaks Goldsbrough Apartments.

Open free to the public, the LEGO construction of Pompeii is in keeping with similar creations in the past, namely the LEGO Acropolis and the LEGO Coliseum. Built by well known LEGO Certified Professional Ryan McNaught, or “The Brickman”, this re-creation of Pompeii will feature over 100,000 pieces and will showcase two aspects of this ancient city; one will show life of the city before Mt Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, while the other will portray the ruins following the eruption.
