It’s a spectacular piece of kit, designed for adults who not only want to “travel” through the Milky Way galaxy by immersing themselves into the rewarding building experience provided by this set, but also display it on their gallery wall. 

When will the LEGO Art The Milky Way Galaxy be released? 

This set is penned in to to be released on May 18, 2024, with LEGO Insiders gaining access to it on May 15, 2024. Once available, this kit is sure to be one of the best LEGO sets exclusive to the LEGO Store. The LEGO Art The Milky Way set will be priced at $199.99.

Designed for astronomy enthusiasts and art aficionados aged 18 and up, this set comprises 3091 pieces, each of which clicks together to create a layered artwork of the Milky Way galaxy. The kit features Trappist-1, the Pleiades, the Crab Nebula, and the Pillars of Creation, all reimagined with LEGO. A tile with the words “You are Here” is included to show where Earth is located. 

However, before you start assembling this three-dimensional masterpiece, you can scan a QR code, which will take you to a specially-curated soundtrack that’s sure to enhance the building process. 

The completed model measures 15.5 inches tall, 25.5 inches deep, and two inches in depth. This vibrantly-coloured set will look marvelous when displayed on a wall, whether it’s in your home or office.
