I didn't know I was going to this exhibition. A friend of mine surprised me and it was lovely.
The exhibits, as ever with big Leg displays, were incredibly well made and were so varied.
The first section was a trip around the world with displays like an underwater scene with a turtle similar in size to, well, a real full grown turtle, a colourful depiction of the Internet, the Aurora Australis and various famous landmarks like Easter Island and Hoover Dam.
Next there were Lego representations of things like the pandemic (tablets and syringes) and social media logos.
I was excited to spot a Lego model of the Mole from Thunderbirds on a screen. The guy involved in creating the display was being interviewed and he had it behind him. I was disappointed though that this model hadn't been included anywhere in the exhibition.
The next section of the display was about technology so there was an enormous model of the International Space Station as well as a small one, and things like a container ship.
The final part was depictions of the Seven Wonders of the World. These were the Pyramids, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Lighthouse at Alexandria, the Temple of Artemis, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia and the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus.
The exhibition was a temporary one within a museum about Winchester built around a Roman archaeological dig site which is incorporated into their exhibits.
