You may have been thinking to yourself, that it’s been a bit quiet around here. And you would be right, but thing have been hopping backstage with three different displays/events in the next week.
Opening today is LEGO: A Fraser Valley Odyssey at the Surrey Museum (in Cloverdale) and will run till September 16th, 2015.
Admission is sponsored by the friends of the museum which can be read as FREE! but please do support the museum by donation if you enjoy what you see.
Please excuse the Ice Age section of our display, we put a lot of effort into all the other time periods that we didn’t have a lot of time to think this era through. Frankly, if you think about it there wasn’t a whole lot happening there at the time but we’ll fix that soon. Check out the rest of the displays and come back in a week or two and recheck the Ice Age then.
Explore the Fraser Valley’s past, present and future in the Surrey Museum’s new ‘LEGO: A Fraser Valley Odyssey’ exhibition.
LEGO® is back at the Surrey Museum!
20,000 years of Fraser Valley history. One million LEGO® bricks. Combine these with the masterminds of the Vancouver LEGO® Club and the result is this uber-cool new exhibit!
Elaborate and whimsical dioramas – the largest covering around 84 square feet – depict the Fraser Valley through the centuries. Imagination allows wooly mammoths to roam receding ice fields in Cloverdale, and colonial Fort Langley is vividly brought to life during the fur trade.
Present-day Surrey includes a large-scale model of Surrey Memorial Hospital, complete with Air Ambulance helicopters on the roof. Nearby, Holland Park’s fountains burble, and the Clova Theatre shows the latest LEGO® Movie.
In the future, oceans rise over suburban rooftops due to global warming, spaceships moor at the Fraser Surrey Docks, highways crumble, and elevators lift people to space in the blink of an eye.
Unleash your own mad genius as you dream up creations with our LEGO stash.
This is part of a series of exhibitions the Surrey Museum has created in partnership with our friends at the Vancouver LEGO® Club. Visit their website to learn more about the world of these AFOLs (Adult Fans of LEGO) and the amazing projects they work on around the Lower Mainland.
