美術手帖
LEGO® Art is releasing a 4,000-piece set inspired by Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss."

Summary

LEGO Japan will release "LEGO® Art Gustav Klimt " on August 4th, a collaboration with the Belvedere Museum in Vienna. Featuring 4,000 pieces, it is the largest set in the LEGO® Art series, aiming to recreate the decorative patterns, golden hues, and iconic composition of Klimt's masterpiece through LEGO® bricks.

The project involved close collaboration between Belvedere curators and LEGO Group master model designers to ensure the symbolic and artistic elements were accurately translated into the medium. To celebrate the launch, a podcast discussing the development process will be available on LEGO.com, Spotify, and YouTube. The set is priced at 52,980 yen (tax included) and measures approximately 60x54 cm.
