LEGO, in collaboration with The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, have announced the next addition to the Lego Art line, Claude Monet – Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies.

This set invites builders to reimagine one of Monet’s most iconic works, originally painted in 1899 and now a highlight of The Met’s collection, as a stunning brick-built masterpiece.

This 3,179-piece LEGO Art set honors Claude Monet’s mastery and his deep devotion to nature, recreating the spirit of his Giverny garden. Using a wide range of LEGO elements — including butterflies, flowers and fruit — the set evokes Monet’s fascination with the natural world. Lush textured trees, the arched bridge and the signature water lilies from the original painting are all translated into bricks. The finished piece is a striking reinterpretation of the work and includes a built-in wall hanger for simple display.

“Translating Monet’s brushstrokes into LEGO bricks was a key design challenge. The team meticulously created a tactile 3D surface by layering tiles and plates in both vertical and horizontal directions, mimicking the brushwork and carefully adapting Monet’s subtle palette of hues within LEGO’s signature colour options. Reimagining the nuance of the original work in LEGO bricks required certain elements of the work to be abstracted, all while preserving essential details of the composition to evoke Monet’s signature artistic style. The build transforms with viewing distance: individual pixels and textures are visible up close, resolving into a peaceful Impressionist landscape from afar, mirroring the nature of Monet’s later works.”
