Maze of the Week #3 - The University of Alaska Museum of the North

After my first 2 landscape mazes to start the year we switch subjects and I present a building maze. This week the maze features the architecture of Joan Soranno and the GDM/HGA team in the form of The University of Alaska Museum of the North. I made 2 options of the maze, one in color and the other in greyscale. The architecture of the building, while not only beautiful lent itself to a draw and cut maze construction that solves like a grid maze. I think you will enjoy it !

Some information about The University of Alaska Museum of the North

My guess is most of you do not live near this museum, but if you are ever in Fairbanks, Alaska, you should plan a visit. While I have never visited myself, I have added this to my bucket list after watching this video (They have their own YouTube channel). Seems like a great and educational way to spend a day.

Before we get to the maze let’s take a look at the building the maze was made of:

Let’s look at the 2 mazes options:

First the full color version that I prefer. Notice it is from a slightly different angle than the photo above. Both are from a time of year (Summer?) when there is no snow on the ground.

And now the alternative version in greyscale. The maze is the same in each.

I hope you enjoy the mazes.

You can find downloads of the maze on it’s permanent page.

Coming Next week:

On January 24th I will be featuring the first of many sign mazes. If you are a fan of roadside signs I think you will really enjoy it !
