To introduce the outside world to the The Palace of Typographic Masonry, educational boxes have been made that as travelling source collections form a nomadic exhibition. The chest of the The Labyrinth of Scripts holds sixty-two domino-like shapes, that can be laid out onto five corresponding playing fields, branching out to a maze in which scripts from Eurasia, India, South Asia, America, Africa and East-Asia linger.
