Instead of reproducing the painting, master model designer Milan Madge and his team recreated many of The Kiss’s features using metallic gold elements, specially decorated pieces, and raised textures to capture the painting’s ornamentation, giving the final creation much more depth than a flat canvas.<\/p>\n
“Recreating Klimt’s ‘The Kiss’ in LEGO bricks was a unique creative challenge, requiring us to capture its rich textures, golden tones, and intricate detail while honoring the original masterpiece,” he said.<\/p>\n
The Belvedere Museum’s Stephanie Auer, its curator of 19th and 20th-century art, was on hand to help LEGO’s designers understand how Klimt’s symbolism, composition, and artistic techniques could be faithfully translated into LEGO bricks while remaining true to the original work’s spirit.<\/p>\n
The LEGO Group will also release a companion podcast featuring Madge and Auer, as the pair discuss Klimt’s artistic legacy and the design process behind the set. Maybe one to save once the build is completed, though this one looks like it’ll take a long while.<\/p>\n
One bonus worth mentioning is how the “painting” is ready for your wall by default, thanks to a hanging mechanism on the back; all you need to do is remove a brick to mark a spot on your chosen wall. You can’t do that with canvas.<\/p>\n

Tiles can be removed to hang the painting.<\/p>\n
The LEGO Group<\/p>\n
As we’ve seen throughout 2026, the LEGO Group is aiming to go bigger with pretty much every range \u2013 most recently, the record-breaking, 12,000-piece Sagrada Fam\u00edlia<\/a> \u2013 so what could be the next big Art Masterpiece? “The Night Watch,”<\/a> which dominates the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, would be great as the next record-breaking set by brick count, though it’s perhaps too detailed and dark to work.<\/p>\n With past sets in mind, the next addition to the Art range needs to be immediately recognizable and, failing that, colorful. Salvador Dal\u00ed’s “The Persistence of Memory”<\/a> feels like an obvious choice, but I can’t think of where you could even start to capture the melting clocks with LEGO elements. Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” though? I wouldn’t rule it out.<\/p>\n
