Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum has joined forces with the Danish toy brick-maker LEGO to create a build-your-own version of Vincent Van Gogh's "Sunflowers".

Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum collaborates with LEGO to create a build-your-own version of Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers'. The 2,615-piece set mimics the painting's bold brush strokes and was unveiled amid fanfare.

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.
