LEGO is launching the Vincent van Gogh - The Starry Night set, in collaboration with the Museum of Modern Art.
If you’re broke and can’t afford a painting created by Vincent van Gogh , LEGO has the next best thing. The legendary toy creators have announced their plans to team up with New York’s Museum of Modern Art to bring LEGO fans an experience like they’ve never had before. Now, with a little elbow grease and patience - along with $169.99 - you can wow your friends and family with the LEGO version of van Gogh’s “The Starry Night.
Originally painted in 1889, the famed artist gazed out of his window at the Monastery of Saint-Paul de Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy, France to create his visually stunning masterpiece. He was at the asylum after checking himself in following the famous self-removal of his left ear. During his time there, van Gogh stared and dreamed into the night sky outside his window, subsequently creating this incredible piece of post-impressionist work.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The original idea came from a Hong Kong based LEGO aficionado and PhD student named Truman Cheng, who submitted his genius idea via the LEGO ideas platform. The attention to detail is what really wows with the new build. A three-dimensional color explosion takes front and center, forming a large version of the painting itself. Yellows, oranges, and blues swirl together as the stars illuminate the town below.
