CITINERARY: Science Museum: Mathematics
The Science Museum’s Mathematics: The Winton Gallery tells the story of how mathematics has shaped our world. Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the new gallery spans 400 years of human ingenuity and brings mathematical history to life through the design and architecture of its displays.
“When I was growing up in Iraq, math was an everyday part of life. My parents instilled in me a passion for discovery, and they never made a distinction between science and creativity. We would play with math problems just as we would play with pens and paper to draw—math was like sketching.” – Zaha Hadid (1950-2016)
There are more than 100 treasures from the Science Museum‘s collection in the Mathematics Gallery that tell powerful stories about how mathematics has shaped, and been shaped by, some of our most fundamental human concerns – from trade and travel, to war and peace, life and death, form and beauty, maps and models, money and computers. How many treasures will you find? What stories will they tell you?
