The Mathenaeum is an interactive exhibit at the National Museum of Mathematics that presents math in a visual, artistic and creative manner, allowing visitors of all ages to apply a pallet of operations to transform basic mathematical shapes into unique three-dimensional digital sculptures.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
At the Mathenaeum, aesthetics and creativity are used as a means to put visitors at ease and help them approach mathematics by engaging them in a subjective sensory experience, ultimately aiming to inspire positive attitudes towards the topic.
