Walk-in labyrinth coming to KC museum

Nelson Atkins museumKANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City’s Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art has begun installing a massive triangular walk-in glass labyrinth that’s scheduled to open to the public in May.

The work, called Glass Labyrinth is by Kansas City native Robert Morris. The piece is made up of dozens of 7-foot-high, 1-inch-thick glass panels that will form a large triangle with a maze of interior glass walls.

 The Kansas City Star reports crews began installing sections Tuesday at the museum’s outdoor Donald J. Hall Sculpture Park.

The work is scheduled to be open to the public May 22 during a celebration inaugurating a yearlong series of activities marking the Sculpture Park’s 25th anniversary.

Unlike a temporary Morris labyrinth in Brazil, the Nelson version will be permanent.
