Another interesting museum located in the Collegius Maius of the Jagiellonian University is an exhibition about mathematics where children can play and learn a lot! There are old calculators from the 20th century…

Children can play with Geography and learn that straight lines in a map are not the shortest ways for the planes:

They can also learn the theorem of Pythagoras scrolling this interesting figure:

There are polyhedra and a lot of geometrical and topological games:

The museum is very small but all the tourist are inside Collegius Maius so you can be very quiet watching all the exhibited objects and toys, like the Rodin’s Thinker:

Finally… here you have my two children playing with Eulerian graphs! They are lovely! Aren’t they?

Hi Carlos,
Beautiful site. Great idea to make an exhibit of the museums of the calculating devices!
I did not know few places that you show. When I travel I often write to curators and they show me their treasures. They are a great help and they also have a lot of knowledge.
Best regards,

Thank you very much. If you know places with mathematical interest, please let me know!
