Welcome

This site is a collaborative effort to plan and develop America's only interactive, hands-on, permanent museum of mathematics. The museum will be governed by its Board of Trustees, with the assistance of the Working Group and the intellectual guidance of our Advisory Council


What will the museum comprise? Our math museum will be the philosophical successor to the Goudreau Museum of Mathematics, formerly located in Herricks, New York — but we plan to go well beyond the scope of the Goudreau to put together a world-class collection of engaging physical and virtual exhibits which will open up the breadth and excitement of the world of mathematics to kids, students, and adults. Visitors will see, feel, and hear the numerous ways in which Mathematics Underlies Simply Everything in life, the arts, and science. Let mathematics be your MUSE !


Please browse our Mission Statement and Exhibit Plans, our new collection of Math News links, and the other information posted here, and check back as we develop prototype on-line exhibits and announce milestones toward the opening of the museum. If you have any comments on the site or would like to join in our efforts, please feel free to contact us.


The Working Group is pleased to announce that its first traveling exhibition, the Math Midway, is on display at the Ward Melville Historic Organization in Stony Brook, NY, through July 6th.  The Math Midway drew in the crowds again at the World Science Festival Street Fair on June 6th, and it will be on display in Texas and Ohio after leaving Stony Brook. Please see the Math Midway website for further information concerning the exhibition.
