The exhibition Labyrinth: Knossos, Myth & Reality was held at the Ashmolean Museum in 2023. Content from this exhibition was reused in this publication: ‘The Aegean World Gallery: The Cretan collection’ is from the exhibition catalogue; ‘Looking for the Labyrinth: From Myth to Reality’ is from the Ashmolean website; ‘Life in the Palace: Knossos in the Bronze Age’ is from the exhibition panel text; the catalogued objects were with one exception (Kamares Cup) in the exhibition and catalogue text has been adapted from exhibition labels and object records.
