Is the artwork on the box the same as the puzzle image?
Yes, the artwork on the box is representative of the puzzle image. A full-color insert is also included inside the box to guide puzzlers.

These are metallic foil details applied to specific parts of the puzzle image, highlighting the geometric lines and design elements of the artwork, adding a premium visual effect.

Troubleshooting
Missing pieces
Double-check the box thoroughly, including the corners and underside. If pieces are confirmed missing, contact Galison customer support for assistance, as they may offer replacements for specific issues.
Pieces don't fit well
Ensure you are using pieces from the correct area of the puzzle. Galison uses high-quality manufacturing, but occasionally a piece might seem difficult. Gently try rotating the piece or check if it's the correct shape for the gap.
Puzzle dust is excessive
While Galison aims to minimize dust, some is normal. You can gently wipe pieces with a dry cloth before assembly, or use a soft brush to clear dust from the finished puzzle.
Foil accents cause glare
Adjust the lighting in your puzzling area. Diffused or indirect lighting is often best. Assembling the puzzle near a window with natural, indirect light can also help minimize glare.
