The Yellow House made of Lego bricks was officially unveiled at the Van Gogh Museum, an impressive installation that tells the story behind Vincent van Gogh’s famous sunflower paintings. It took place during an exclusive event celebrating the continued collaboration between the Lego Group and the Van Gogh Museum.
The structure, consisting of five rooms and built from 182,109 Lego bricks, brings to life the place where Vincent van Gogh created his iconic sunflower paintings. The installation takes visitors through Vincent’s artistic journey in Arles, from his first inspiration by the colourful gardens to his friendship with Paul Gauguin.
Rob Groot, MD of the Van Gogh Museum, said: “This installation represents a new highlight in our collaboration with the Lego Group. It offers a unique way to experience the stories behind Van Gogh’s masterpieces and connects art with the creativity of Lego bricks in a very accessible way.”
The five rooms of the Yellow House each tell part of the story: from Vincent’s quest for inspiration to his reputation as a master of colour and form.
The collaboration began earlier this year with the launch of the Lego Art Vincent van Gogh 2,615-piece Sunflowers set, developed in close collaboration with museum experts, is available for €199.99 in the museum shop and online.
