Lego professional Ryan McNaught has built a Lego Colosseum for Sydney University.

Sunday July 1 sees the grand unveiling of the largest ever scale model of Rome’s famous Colosseum - built entirely from LEGO bricks! The model will be the centrepiece of an exhibition about Rome’s largest surviving building from the great days of its Empire. The exhibition will also include sculpture and coins of the Emperors, as well as artefacts used in daily life by the ordinary Roman who enjoyed 100 days of holiday and games when the original Colosseum opened in 80 AD.
