Myer celebrates 70 years of Christmas windows magic with the LEGO
Group
To mark the 70th anniversary of the Myer Christmas Windows, Australia’s favourite department store has
teamed up with the LEGO Group for a spectacular display capturing the magic and joy of the festive season.
Showcased over six of the iconic Bourke Street store windows, this year’s Christmas tale tells the story of how a
child’s letter (and wishes) travels, with the help of a cheeky elf, from a Melbourne post office all the way to
Santa’s North Pole Workshop.
Children and adults will be taken on a magical journey constructed from almost 500,000 LEGO® bricks with
stops along the way at: Melbourne Post, Santa’s sorting room, his workshop, the present wrapping room,
ending back in Australia with a spectacular reindeer flight on Christmas Eve.
The windows will have a distinctly Melbourne flair, with a cast of over 700 LEGO minifigures attending Carols By
Candlelight at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl and making preparations for the MCG’s Boxing Day Test.
