Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was Ryan McNaught's LEGO masterpiece. In fact his display took 4,944 hours and over seven tonnes of LEGO bricks to build.

Known as ‘The Brickman', Ryan is the only LEGO Certified Professional in the Southern Hemisphere and one of only 14 in the world.

His latest display ‘Wonders of the World' is an interactive display that allows you to travel around the globe to see some of the world's most iconic landmarks, such as the Empire State Building, Arc De Triomphe, Big Ben and Leaning Tower of Pisa.

After wowing Auckland, Hamilton LEGO fans, the popular event will be coming to Mount Maunganui from Saturday, June 30- Sunday, July 22.

'The exhibition is super interactive with lots of activities for LEGO fanatics of all ages to get involved in,” says Ryan.

'Brickies will have the chance to build a statue of themselves next to the mighty Statue of David, build cars to drive around the Arc De Triomphe, add their own LEGO fish and coral to our Great Barrier Reef and heaps more.

'Hopefully all the budding builders in Tauranga are up for the challenge.”

The exhibition will feature 50 awe-inspiring models on display, taking visitors on an educational journey through history.

Throughout the exhibition, visitors will have the opportunity to learn along the way and discover more about each attraction- real life and LEGO life.

As well as being immersed amongst the incredible LEGO creations, there will also be a number of hands-on activities to take part in.

Ryan will also be enlisting the building skills of the public to help with some of the model making, with little and big kids giving them the chance to show off their building talents in eight interactive zones.

'It was incredible to have so many people come to see Brickman Wonders of the World at Auckland Museum, a phenomenal turnout of kids and adults that love LEGO as much as I do.

'Now I can't wait to bring the party to Mt Maunganui, it's going to be awesome.”

The Brickman's ‘Wonders of the World' LEGO event will be held at Baypark Stadium Lounge from June 30- July 22.

Tickets start from $12.50 and will be available to purchase at www.ticketek.co.nz.
