The LEGO Group and the Belvedere Museum reveal largest LEGO® Art Masterpiece to date: Gustav Klimt – The Kiss

Featuring 4,000 pieces, the LEGO Art The Kiss set is the largest LEGO Art Masterpiece set released to date.

A striking three-dimensional interpretation of one of the world’s most celebrated paintings, recreated with gold LEGO elements, layered textures and specially decorated pieces.

Developed in partnership with the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, the set will be available from 1 August 2026.

Billund, Denmark, 15 July 2026: The LEGO Group, in collaboration with Belvedere Museum, invites fans to discover the golden age of art with the new LEGO® Art Gustav Klimt – The Kiss set. This 4,000-piece LEGO Art set is a striking three-dimensional tribute to one of the world’s most iconic paintings, and the largest LEGO Art Masterpiece set released to date.

Inspired by Klimt’s celebrated masterpiece The Kiss, the set captures the emotion, ornamentation and luminous colour palette that defined the Austrian modernist painter’s work and the Vienna Secession movement. Reimagined through LEGO bricks, the artwork becomes an immersive creative experience that blends art, design and mindful building.

Created in collaboration with the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, where the original painting is permanently displayed, the set faithfully recreates Klimt’s signature style using layered textures and intricate details. Decorated circles, spirals, flowers, metallic gold elements and familiar LEGO studs come together to depict the iconic embracing couple in rich, tactile form.

Speaking about the design process, Milan Madge, Master Model Designer at the LEGO Group, said: “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 honouring the original masterpiece. By combining golden LEGO elements with specially decorated pieces, we were able to recreate the artwork’s distinctive shades and textures in a building experience that celebrates its extraordinary beauty.”

To accompany the launch, the LEGO Group has produced a podcast episode featuring Master Model Designer Milan Madge and Stephanie Auer, Curator of 19th- and 20th-Century Art at the Belvedere Museum. Available from 1st August via LEGO.com/TheKiss, Spotify and YouTube, the conversation explores Klimt’s artistic legacy and the creative process behind translating The Kiss into LEGO brick form – a perfect podcast to create an even more immersive building experience.

Stephanie Auer on the collaboration: “Working as a curator for the adaptation of Klimt’s The Kiss into a LEGO Art set was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 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.”

Enhancing the building journey, the set also offers an engaging experience through the LEGO Builder app, featuring interactive 3D instructions, allowing builders to track their progress in one place.
