And recently, the Danish toy production company has once again blown our mind with its brand new pop culture-themed posters that buyers can build themselves. Yes it sounds cool, because it is very, very cool indeed!

In an interview with Bored Panda, Samuel Johnson – the design lead of this awesome LEGO Art lineup shared that it wasn’t easy for his team to find the most suitable characters for their new creation. However, their efforts were definitely worth it.

“LEGO does not have a huge foothold within the art passion, so we spent a long time deciding which art/artist would be the best fit for the launch year of LEGO Art. Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe Diptych really lends itself well to the LEGO color palette and interchangeability of colors within the same design,” he said.
“Lastly, our focus on music + LEGO continues to grow as we have adapted extremely recognizable photos of John, Paul, George and Ringo into unique artworks for our Beatles set that shows these influential artists in the prime of their careers inspiring future musicians the world over,” Johnson continued.

Despite the fact that these artistic mosaic posters are tempting enough themselves, LEGO has made them even more irresistible with their own unique soundtracks that last for about 90 minutes each. In other words, you can totally immerse yourself in these characters’ stories while putting approximately 3.5k pieces of each set together. Isn’t it fantastic?

“Each set has its own exclusive soundtrack, and these soundtracks provide fascinating anecdotes from those closest to the stories of Andy Warhol, the Beatles or the creators of Iron Man, and Star Wars,” Johnson talked to Bored Panda.

“The soundtrack dives deep into the inspiration behind each design to help adults fully immerse themselves in the building experience and unwind while they explore their love of music, art, or film in a new way. Build your model, enjoy the soundtrack, admire your work and it’s ready to hang,” he added.
