Director Senna Fernandes built a mini-A-Ma Temple LEGO® model
Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO) and LEGO® HK collaborate for the very first time to create a unique “Macau x LEGO® Exhibition”. The bricks exhibit will be showcased at Ritz Building in Senado Square and Macau Science Centre from 25 September to 28 December. MGTO Director Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes and Marketing Manager of LEGO® HK, Yvonne Lam Wing Ki officiate the Opening Ceremony at Ritz Building today (25 September). The “Macau x LEGO® Exhibition” is built by Andy Hung, the LEGO® Certified Professional, with over 120 thousand LEGO® bricks including iconic Macau landmarks such as Macau’s World Heritage, attractions, events and landmarks among others. It is believed that the exhibition will attract residents and tourists to experience Macau from a new and different angle. Andy Hung not only paid high attention to the realism of the architectures, the mini figures and props are extensively utilized for highlighting lively atmosphere to impress visitors. Senado Square, Rua de Felicidade and Ruins of St. Paul’s are displayed in LEGO® bricks at Ritz Building, whereas the Macau Grand Prix Guia Circuit, Macau Tower and map of Macau Peninsula exhibits are displayed at the Macau Science Centre (MSC). Aside from the meticulously-crafted LEGO® exhibition, the latest car racing products (Speed Champion Series) of LEGO® is also available at MSC. Both exhibition venues include photo booth and “Macau Attraction x LEGO® mini-figures” photo exhibition by local photographer António Leong. To let LEGO® fans and mini-figure photographers experience the fun of Macau tourism crossover LEGO®, MGTO specially organized several sessions of LEGO® Photography Seminar and LEGO® Workshop at MSC. Andy Hung and António Leong will share their techniques and experiences with participants who successfully registered in the sessions. LEGO® Photography Seminar will be held on October 18, November 15 and December 13 (two sessions per day) at 12:00 – 13:00 and 14:30 – 15:30. On the other hand, LEGO® Workshop will be held on October 3, November 11 & 29 (two sessions per day) at 12:00 – 13:00 and 14:30 – 15:30. Last year and mid-September this year, MGTO organized large-scale roadshows in Hong Kong which showcased some famous Macau landmarks in LEGO® bricks and were very well received by the public. Soon after the first exhibition was held, MGTO started to plan for this exhibition. The “Macau x LEGO® Exhibition” has been prepared for more than half a year, and the construction work was built by a team, led by Andy Hung, the first LEGO® Certified Professionals (LDP) in the Greater China region.
