This Art set was made in collaboration with the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, where the original painting is kept. Stephanie Auer, a Curator of 19th- and 20th-Century Art at the museum, worked with Milan Madge, Master Model Designer at the Lego Group, to help bring it to life.

Speaking on the collaboration, Auer notes that "Working as a curator for the adaptation of Klimt’s The Kiss into a Lego Art set was a once-in-a-lifetime experience." She continues: "Together with Milan Madge, we had extensive discussions about Gustav Klimt’s symbolism, ornamentation, and artistic techniques, as well as how these could be represented using Lego bricks. Distinctive features such as the flatness and composition were carefully translated into LEGO bricks — always with the goal of staying true to the spirit of the original work.”

With 4,000 pieces, it uses creative elements such as circles, spirals, studs, flowers, and gold metallic bricks to create the iconic piece. It's a build that's sure to keep you busy. It's important to note that it's a set recommended for adults, but the whole family might need to get involved to tackle this monster set.
