Maze of the Week #99 - Berlin Planetarium

Maze of the Week #99 takes us to the capital of Germany, with a maze of the Berlin Planetarium, and specifically the Zeiss-Großplanetarium (Zeiss Grand Planetarium). This maze has a lot of similarities to my maze of Spaceship Earth at Epcot Center. I visited Berlin and really enjoyed the city a lot but am upset that I did not visit this planetarium.

YouTube: In German, but at 10 second mark you get a good look at the building !

The Maze: Black and white. Draw and cut construction. I considered hiding a message in the solution…but did not ?

Maze of the Week #81 - Munson-Williams-Proctor Museum of Art Maze

Maze of the Week #81 takes us to Utica, New York with a maze of the Munson-Williams-Proctor Museum of Art. The building opened in 1960 and was designed by architect Philip Johnson.

You can learn about the Art Institute that includes the museum here.

YouTube: A short video showing the outside and inside of the museum !

The Maze: Despite not being a colorful building, the maze came out more interesting because of the surrounding area. My favorite part of the maze ? The stairs leading to the building have transparent looking panels which I included !!

Maze of the Week #35 - The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Maze

Maze of the week #35 rocks. I am happy to present a maze of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. If you are a fan of music, and who isn’t ?, then you would love to visit the rock hall. I have had the pleasure of visiting multiple times. It is featured on the site this week because it was dedicated on September 1, 1995. The beautiful building was designed by architect I.M Pei. It reminds me of The Louvre which I also recently mazed. As someone who has lived in downtown Cleveland, I should mention that there are speakers around the downtown that play music from the RRHOF in the Summer. One of the speaker stacks is in this maze, and sits just outside the museum.

Learn more about the Rock Hall, and maybe even plan a visit.

Here is a photo of the museum on the shores of Lake Erie:

The mazes: I made this 4 times, each with different colorations. The face of the building changes colors based on the light and weather. The first version is where I landed, but I have included my second favorite also below. Note that the maze is poster sized and formatted to 24 x 42. It looks best printed on a large piece of paper.

And I assure you, this blue variation is also how the museum looks at times !

I hope you enjoy the maze. Maze downloads are available.

A maze of an important point ????

Maze of the Week #32 - The Louvre Maze

I am excited to present my maze of the week #32, The Louvre, the most visited museum in the world in Paris, France. I was fortunate enough to visit it for many hours one day and it is huge and completely worth your time. It is home to the Mona Lisa (smaller than you think) and the Venus de Milo. It originally opened its doors on August 10, 1793, thus the launch on the site this week. Happy Birthday.

There is a lot to say about this museum and if you want to find out more, Wikipedia The Louvre or visiting the museums website in English would be a good start.

How about a quick tour of the museum in 4K?

You can find many photos of the Louvre so I will assume you know what it looks like. Let’s get right into the mazes:

The Mazes: My first version is a standard black and white version:

The Louvre Maze

And my second and third versions are something new, mixed media mazes using a version of my maze overlayed on a photo of the Louvre. I could not find the photographer to properly attribute them as this photo is found on many websites. This version also is wide angle to showcase more of the wonderful nighttime photo. I did 2 versions, a white background and one that uses the reflection of the buildings color.

I hope you enjoy the mazes. Downloads are available at the mazes permanent home.

Coming next week:

A sign maze.
