TEG has revealed a record-breaking achievement for the Australian and New Zealand tour of Jurassic World by Brickman. It has become the most attended exhibition ever at Queensland Museum. Over a quarter of a million people passed through its gates.
Brickman is one of the hosts alongside Hamish Blake on Nine’s Lego Masters TV series.
The immersive adventure brings to life the blockbuster franchise from Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment and was the largest LEGO Brick exhibition ever made by The Brickman Team. The skilled LEGO brick model builders and craftspeople brought the exhibition to Australia and New Zealand, which saw over 1 million people come to check out the action.
In addition, The Brickman’s Wonders of the World exhibition, also holds a spot in the top five attended exhibitions at Queensland Museum.
TEG Group CEO Geoff Jones said: “TEG is delighted with the attendance figures we managed to achieve for Jurassic World by Brickman. This was no easy feat and shows the current appetite for family entertainment.
“This Partnership between The Brickman and TEG initially kicked off in 2016 and since then we have managed to go from strength to strength by building audiences across the country and globally.
“The Brickman is now one of the biggest names in family entertainment and we look forward to bringing more world-class exhibitions to fans around the globe.”

During the Australian Tour, a second and identical exhibition was built for international touring. This exhibition opened in Sweden in 2023, moving to Madrid in early 2024, and has now opened in Rio De Janeiro. This marks The Brickman’s sixth continent for an exhibition.
Following Rio, the exhibition will move to Sao Paulo and then Santiago, Chile in 2025. It is anticipated that by the conclusion of the season in Chile, this version of the exhibition will have also exceeded one million attendees – another incredible achievement for The Brickman.
The Jurassic World by Brickman exhibition is now headed for the United States, where it will debut at OMSI in Portland, and then Tour across multiple cities across the country.
