Math Museum Planned

MoMath (Museum of Mathematics) is scheduled to open in New York City in 2012.

According to the press release, it will be the only US museum devoted exclusively to mathematics:

 Among other things, the museum will explore math's connections to art, science and finance.

Getting physical will be part of the equation. One activity will let visitors ride tricycles with square wheels along a track with curving terrain.

In all, about 50 interactive activities will demonstrate that math is a collaborative process.
 
Math Midway--a traveling exhibition produced by MoMath creators, is currently on tour.  Check for dates and cities.
