The 3D replica of Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece Mona Lisa consists of a total of 1,503 individual parts, some of which come in brand new colors. An additional highlight is a drum-painted, removable frame that allows owners to hang the LEGO set on the wall like a real picture.
The LEGO artwork is 43 cm high, 30 cm wide and 4 cm deep. It can already be pre-ordered at a price of 99.99 euros. However, delivery will not take place until October 1, 2024.
“The Mona Lisa is of course world-famous, but our familiarity with it can obscure what a groundbreaking work of art this painting is. “The culmination of Da Vinci’s lifelong study of science and nature, the Mona Lisa is full of stories and details that we enjoyed researching and implementing,” said LEGO designer Milan Madge.

The replica of Notre-Dame de Paris, on the other hand, is a classic architectural model. It is made up of a total of 4,383 terminal blocks and, when finished, is 33 cm high, 22 cm wide and 41 cm deep.
The ability to remove the roof allows owners of the set to take a look inside the iconic building and admire details such as the rose windows, the interior columns, the Gothic arches, the two towers and much more. The Notre-Dame de Paris LEGO set can also be pre-ordered at a price of 229.99 euros. It will then be officially available from June 1, 2024.
“When designing the LEGO Architecture Notre-Dame de Paris, we tried to bring it to life by capturing not only its external appearance, but also the manner and stages in which the original was built” , explains LEGO designer Rok Žgalin Kobe.
