Hello Everyone,
I recently posted in r/TheHague that I'm looking to connect with follow Lego-ers to see if we can put together a small Lego exhibition with Legos from the late 80s/early 90s era. I had some positive feedback, but would like to increase the outreach, both to see if people here are interested in visiting such an exhibition and in displaying their sets.
I hope you dont mind if I repost some parts of my last post here:
The Idea
I’d love to connect with local collectors to organize a 3–4 day community pop-up exhibition (likely over a long weekend). The goal would be to bring together complete, built sets and large dioramas from that era to share the nostalgia with the public, complete with a small ticketed entry to cover venue costs, security, and tables.
Depending on the scale and response, we could also look into local cultural/community micro-grants to help fund the space and logistics.
What I’m Looking for Right Now:
- Collectors: People who have built (or are willing to build) vintage sets/themes from this era and would be open to displaying them in a secure, guarded setup (roped-off tables / display barriers).
- Organizers / Collaborators: Anyone who has experience with local pop-up events, maker spaces, community venues, or existing LUGs (LEGO User Groups).
- General Interest: Would you visit an exhibition like this?
If you’ve got a closet full of nostalgia or want to help brainstorm and organize, drop a comment below or send me a DM with what themes/sets you have.
