Mathematikum

Located in the city of Gießen, Mathematikum is a modern maths museum that attempts to teach visitors the various concepts of maths through its unusual installations and exhibits. Founded by German mathematician Albrecht Beutelspacher, the museum attracts hundreds and thousands of visitors every year from all ages who attempt to learn through practical exhibits instead of formulae or equations. The interactive exhibits here include mirrors, wooden puzzles, build bridges, soap films, etc with many being larger than life. A special event every month here is the Beutelspachers Sofa where a mathematician is invited for an interview by the founder followed by a Q and A session with the audience. A must-visit for all tourists!
