Russian artist and sculptor Arkady Kim has unveiled the world's largest coffee bean mosaic that used up to a million coffee beans, in Moscow.

Titled ‘Awakening’, the artwork measured about 30 square meters and weighed a hefty 397 pounds, surpassing the previous record set by Albanian artist Saimir Strati by 88 pounds, and earning him a Guinness Book of World record.

After roasting coffee beans to get different shades, they then glued them one-by-one to a giant panel.

The artwork is on display to the public until July 1 at Moscow’s Gorky Central Park of Culture and Leisure.
