About National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath)
The only museum in North America devoted entirely to making math hands-on and joyful.
Called the "palace of all things mathematical" by The New York Times, MoMath turns a subject many people dread into something you want to touch and play with.
What you'll see and do - Roam interactive galleries and exhibits designed to reveal the patterns and structures behind everyday math. - Experience a space built for learners "from 2 to 102," welcoming even people who never saw themselves as math people. - Look forward to a larger Chelsea location at 635 Sixth Avenue with 70 interactive exhibits, including 31 brand-new experiences, a dedicated early learners area, and design touches like elevator buttons labeled +1, 0, and -1.
