I am back again with all the things I found during the month that didn’t quite fit into it’s own blog post, but that I found interesting about mazes and labyrinths. The news archive is below.
A House with a maze is still for sale in NY
The house is being sold by Sotheby’s International Real Estate and is listed for $10 Million. The photo gallery is worth a look and includes some great views of the maze ! I will quote directly from the Sotheby’s site:
“At its core lies one of the most extraordinary sculptural landmarks in the world: the largest stone maze ever built, a 1,680-foot-long environmental sculpture by British artist Michael Ayrton. Completed in 1965 and described by the artist as "the only one of stone since the 4th or 5th century B.C.," the labyrinth features towering walls and original bronzes of Daedalus, Icarus, and the Minotaur.”

I had written about this before, but if you are in Canberra, Australia the Yarramula Play Station just opened a new, large, indoor-outdoor maze that looks amazing. The owner, Jason Perkins, mentions in this article that it takes between 1-2 hours to solve ! The maze is made of wooden poles, and I for one am excited to see the upcoming videos that get made of it (you can a watch a mini video in the article) !
