The Starry Night: Painting with LEGO

Zach McLaughlin

The Starry Night was painted by Vincent van Gogh in June 1889, but it didn’t become famous until long after van Gogh’s death. Now, 133 years later, you can build your own starry night thanks to LEGO fan and set designer Truman Cheng. CNN even ran an article on the new set today (link below). While this version will cost you far less than the original, it’s still not cheap, coming in at $220 CAD - oof! It does look like a lot of fun to build, though, and the 3D elements as well as the way the bricks capture van Gogh’s brushstrokes make it a great display piece! This one will definitely go on my wish list. Check it out!
