When he was 17 years old, German artist Anselm Kiefer retraced the footsteps of Vincent van Gogh from the Netherlands through Belgium and into France.

The first thing to know about this build is its size. It's 21 inches high and 16 inches wide – approximately 60% the size of the original painting and large enough to be unwieldy when picking it up. It's of a size and scope that means to be taken seriously.

Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum has teamed up with Lego to launch a build-your-own version of Vincent van Gogh's 'Sunflowers'

Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum has joined forces with Danish toymaker Lego to create a build-your-own version of Vincent van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’.

Think you could recreate Van Gogh’s Sunflowers in Lego? Now you can try with a 2,615-piece set, which features the 16 sunflowers of the painting with adjustable petals. The set was unveiled at Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum.
