Gustav Klimt \u2013 The Kiss (31221) is exactly 4,000 pieces, and is the range’s biggest addition yet.<\/p>\n
The LEGO Group<\/p>\n
LEGO has unveiled its largest LEGO Art Masterpiece set to date, recreating one of the world\u2019s most famous paintings in bricks alongside its real-life counterpart in a swanky event at Vienna\u2019s Belvedere Museum.<\/p>\n
Developed in partnership with the institution, the LEGO Group\u2019s Gustav Klimt \u2013 The Kiss (31221)<\/a> is exactly 4,000 pieces, and transforms the Austrian symbolist\u2019s painting into a layered, 3D display model. It\u2019s by far the biggest entry in LEGO\u2019s Art range, which has featured sets recreating classics from Vincent van Gogh (\u201cStarry Night,\u201d \u201cSunflowers\u201d), Katsushika Hokusai (\u201cThe Great Wave\u201d), Keith Haring (\u201cDancing Figures\u201d), Claude Monet (\u201cBridge over a Pond of Water Lilies\u201d), and Leonardo da Vinci (\u201cMona Lisa\u201d).<\/p>\n LEGO Art Gustav Klimt \u2013 The Kiss (31221) specifications<\/p>\n Gustav Klimt \u2013 The Kiss (31221)<\/p>\n The LEGO Group<\/p>\n Pieces: 4,000 Instead of reproducing the painting, master model designer Milan Madge and his team recreated many of The Kiss\u2019s features using metallic gold elements, specially decorated pieces, and raised textures to capture the painting\u2019s ornamentation, giving the final creation much more depth than a flat canvas.<\/p>\n Play Puzzles & Games on Forbes<\/p>\n \u201cRecreating Klimt\u2019s \u2018The Kiss\u2019 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The Belvedere Museum\u2019s Stephanie Auer, its curator of 19th and 20th-century art, was on hand to help LEGO\u2019s designers understand how Klimt\u2019s symbolism, composition, and artistic techniques could be faithfully translated into LEGO bricks while remaining true to the original work\u2019s spirit.<\/p>\n The LEGO Group will also release a companion podcast featuring Madge and Auer, as the pair discuss Klimt\u2019s artistic legacy and the design process behind the set. Maybe one to save once the build is completed, though this one looks like it\u2019ll take a long while.<\/p>\n One bonus worth mentioning is how the \u201cpainting\u201d 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\u2019t do that with canvas.<\/p>\n Tiles can be removed to hang the painting.<\/p>\n The LEGO Group<\/p>\n As we\u2019ve 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? \u201cThe Night Watch,\u201d<\/a> which dominates the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, would be great as the next record-breaking set by brick count, though it\u2019s perhaps too detailed and dark to work.<\/p>\n
