Claude Monet – Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies

Recreating Monet's famous 1899 oil painting through 3,179 LEGO pieces, this wall art set transforms the Impressionist masterpiece into a detailed brick-built display. The set cleverly repurposes familiar LEGO elements including butterflies, cherries, bananas, swords and shields to capture the colours and textures of the original water lilies scene.

Developed in collaboration with The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where Monet's original painting is housed, this adult building set offers an immersive creative experience for ages 18 and up. The finished piece measures 51 cm high by 41 cm wide and 4 cm deep, making it a substantial wall display that brings colour and tranquility to any room.

Build and Display Features

The set includes a built-in hanging mechanism on the rear for easy wall mounting. Instructions come with a QR code that links to an exclusive podcast featuring a Metropolitan Museum of Art curator discussing Monet's artistic inspiration and techniques.

Educational Experience

Beyond the building experience, the set provides insight into Impressionist art through its accompanying educational content, making it both a creative activity and a learning opportunity about one of art history's most celebrated painters.
