Australian Museum exhibition imagines a world where humans are replaced by Lego mini-figures
Once upon a child's playground, Lego was those annoying plastic bricks that would endlessly entertain preschoolers.
Today, it is a recognised artistic medium, fascinating for adults and children alike, seeding a TV show and a new Australian Museum exhibition.

Relics, A New World Rises – opening in August – imagines a future world where humans have pushed the environment one step too far and it has been repopulated by some 2000 mini-figures.
Best friends Alex Towler and Jackson Harvey, winners of the first Lego Masters television series, have built 15 miniature civilisations within forgotten and reclaimed objects.
