Based on one person building the set for the first time, following the original instructions and using numbered bags where supplied. Includes normal piece-finding and minor adjustments; excludes long breaks, filming, dismantling and modifications. Sources may use different methods. This range is neither a statistical interval nor a limit: your build may take less or more time.

How we estimate times · sources and method

A relatively quick frame is followed by more intricate flowers and colour variations. The estimate covers the whole composition, not the frame alone. Experience bands are cautious editorial estimates, not measured user averages.

Sources do not always specify the builder’s experience. The three experience bands are our editorial assessment, based on the complexity of the set and individual accounts where available.

How much display space does it need?

Assembled artwork

Height: ≈ 54 cm
Width: ≈ 41 cm
Depth / length: ≈ 5 cm

Check your shelf space

Approximate assembled-model measurements, not packaging dimensions. Allow extra room for handling, moving parts and the display stand. The comparison uses the measured model’s overall footprint, allows a 90° rotation and does not assess stability or shelf load. Source LEGO ↗ · 2026-10-29

The model, the history, the ideas

Inside the set

Created with the Van Gogh Museum

The set was developed in collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum, bringing the brick interpretation into direct conversation with the institution dedicated to the artist.

Petals to arrange

The petals are adjustable and the composition includes a tile with the artist’s signature. Its hanging system allows the finished work to be displayed on a wall.

Beyond the set

The stories, places and inventions behind your build.

More than one vase of sunflowers

Van Gogh revisited his sunflower vases: the Amsterdam canvas follows a composition painted the previous summer.

Read the full story

Van Gogh painted four large sunflower canvases in August 1888, later revisiting two compositions. Amsterdam’s January 1889 painting follows the version now in London. These repetitions rework a studied subject; Gauguin had requested a sunflower picture with a yellow background.

Van Gogh Museum

A challenge in yellow

The artist worked with three shades of yellow to show how much variation a restricted palette could offer. Colour is central to the experiment behind Sunflowers.

Read the full story

The museum describes harmony built from three yellow tones. Flowers, vase and background vary within a restricted range. Theo compared the effect with fabric embroidered in satin and gold, suggesting a surface woven from light, paint and subtle colour differences.

SET THE MOOD

A soundtrack for your build

· A pairing for this model

Debussy and Rameau piano music accompanies work on the Sunflowers’ colours and surfaces. The affinity lies in shading and detail: a musical reading of composing the picture, without claiming a historical connection between these pieces and Van Gogh.

OUR PICK

Your listening moodChoose a different soundtrack

A build to spread over several sessions: choose the more understated option when you want the instructions to take centre stage. The music does not set your pace.
