The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam has teamed up with the Lego Group to create a new Lego set inspired by Van Gogh's Sunflowers painting.
The set was designed to create a 3D brick version of the Van Gogh masterpiece, focusing on 'Van Gogh’s famous use of light and shade.'
To celebrate the launch of the set on 1 March, two brick replicas of the painting will be permanently displayed in Amsterdam’s Lego Store and the Van Gogh Museum.
The set comes with a link to a podcast, created with the Van Gogh Museum, featuring senior curator Nienke Bakker and Lego designer Stijn Oom.
As part of the collaboration with Lego, the museum will offer a variety of Lego-themed activities throughout 2025, including a Lego installation from June – August.
“We hope this Lego set will inspire and engage new audiences with the art and life story of Vincent van Gogh," said Rob Groot, MD of the Van Gogh Museum.
"Working on one of the world’s most famous paintings can be quite daunting, but recreating Sunflowers has been a dream come true," said Lego designer Stijn Oom.
In 2022, the Lego Group partnered with New York‘s Museum of Modern Art on a Lego set that recreated Van Gogh’s The Starry Night (1889).
