Inspired by ancient labyrinths, garden and hedge mazes of 17th and 18th-century Europe, and modern American corn mazes, this contemporary maze is located in the West Court of the Museum’s historic Great Hall. In addition to viewing the maze from the ground floor, visitors will also be able to get an unexpected aerial perspective from the Museum’s second- and third-floor balconies.
Soaring approximately 18 feet high and measuring 60 feet by 60 feet, the maple plywood structure boast a series of twists and turns for visitors to weave through and explore.
