LEGO sets are getting so creative nowadays that they aren’t just “sets” but they can actually double as home decor. And we’re not just talking about their LEGO Botanicals collection of bouquets and tiny plants—they also have LEGO replicas of famous artwork like Robert Indiana’s LOVE pop art sculpture and da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. They’ve now released another LEGO version of an iconic painting, and this time it’s Vincent Van Gogh’s.
On Jan. 28, LEGO debuted one of their newest products, their LEGO Art Vincent van Gogh – Sunflowers Set. This set was created in collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, which is where this particular real-life Van Gogh painting currently resides.

LEGO Vincent van Gogh – Sunflowers Set, $199.99 at LEGO
LEGO
This LEGO version of the iconic Sunflowers painting costs $199.99 and is currently available for pre-order. Pre-orders will ship out on March 1, the same day that it’ll be available to purchase in stores or directly online.
This is a complex and large set, for sure. There are a whopping total of 2,615 pieces to create a finished “painting” that measures over 21 inches tall, 16 inches wide and 2 inches deep. The finished set fits inside a removable frame with hanger hardware on the back so you can hang it up on your wall, like a real painting.
Because this is a LEGO set, the painting is made from various LEGO bricks that recreate Van Gogh’s brilliant brush strokes in a 3D format. But a really cool feature is a brick with Van Gogh’s signature on it, in the same place it is in on the real painting. Due to the amount of pieces and skill level needed for this build, it’s recommended for ages 18 and up.

Van Gogh had several paintings of sunflowers, and this one is a LEGO version of Sunflowers, a repetition of the 4th version (yellow background), which, again, is in Amsterdam. And people in the r/lego subreddit are really into this LEGO set (as they should be).
“Damn. I don’t need it, and I don’t want it. But I want it, and I need it,” a top comment says.
“I’ve managed to just barely resist the other Lego ‘paintings’, but I love Van Gogh and this is great,” another person wrote. “I may actually hang this…”
One more Reddit user pointed out that just when they were running out of shelf space for LEGOs, they can now “fill up [their] walls with LEGO art!” Which is a great concept, honestly.
“Absolutely love the art sets,” another person commented. “I think they’re becoming my [favorite] theme.”
So if you love art or Vincent Van Gogh—or both!—the LEGO Art Vincent van Gogh – Sunflowers Set is a great purchase. True art that you get to create. Just not with paint.
