LEGO® Art, Icons and Architecture are themes that are transforming LEGO Bricks from a construction toy to a decorative medium, and each theme has just revealed a new piece for January 2026. Let’s take a wander around these upcoming sets, set for a January 2026 release:
A few years ago, if you were visiting Paris for the first time, there were two things many tourists would try to fit in: one would be a trip to the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, which never fails to astound first time views by just how small it is; and as visit to Notre Dame Cathedral. Or at least it was before the fire in 2019. With the cathedral’s restoration on track to be completed at the end of 2024, tourists will again be able to visit the medieval church.
With this in mind, the LEGO Group today revealed two new products to help bring the magic of Paris closer to home for builders. Fans can start building their very own art collection with the LEGO® Art Mona Lisa or choose to be captivated by the majestic LEGO® Architecture Notre-Dame de Paris set.
These two global icons of Paris have been unveiled to celebrate the rich heritage and history of the French capital, which has an exciting and packed year ahead and will be available for pre-order on 7th May.
Small scale skylines have a favorite feature in the LEGO Architectural range. running primarily from 2016-2020, we had a surprise appearance earlier this year from a model of the Singapore Skyline. These sets have covered many major cities from around the world, and have varied immensely in their price ((30-60USD) and part count (212-857). Aimed primarily at a serious adult audience, we have seen a couple of more cheerful ‘postcard’ sets pop up in the creator range this year. Initially slated for release earlier in the year, postcards of New York and Beijing were delayed, possibly due to trade mark issuses associated with the use of the Chinese Flag. While sets are in the process of being rolled out around the world (July-August 2022), a further 2 have been revealed: London and Paris. I am thankful to the LEGO group for providing early copies of these sets for review.
