An upcoming exhibition at Exeter's Royal Albert Memorial Museum is set to feature a history of the city made out of LEGO bricks.

'Brick by Brick: A LEGO brick history of Exeter' will show Exeter through the ages, from prehistory and Roman Britain to the Second World War, the modern era, and beyond.

A spokesperson for RAMM said: "Embark on a time travelling adventure, journeying from the deepest recesses of Devon's prehistoric past to Exeter's dreams of a greener future… all lovingly recreated in LEGO bricks.

"Dive into Jurassic seas where menacing ichthyosaurs prowl, relax in a recreated Roman bathhouse, defend the city from the walls of Rougemont Castle, or glimpse inside the newly built St. Sidwell's Point Leisure Complex.

"Each miniaturised LEGO brick model explores a different point in Exeter's vibrant history, from its origins in the days of the Roman Empire to the glorious heights of its famous woollen trade, and from the tragedy of the Second World War to its transformation into a 'garden city' of the near-future.

"Filled with fun and humour, and accompanied by objects from RAMM's collection, children's playzones, trails and more, this LEGO brick story of our city will delight children of all ages."

When is it?

The exhibition will take place from 18 June to 11 September. While entry is free to the RAMM, tickets are required for this exhibition.

Prices are £4.50 for adults, £3.50 for concessions, and £2.50 for children. Booking is advised, and tickets will go on sale soon.
