A museum for mathematics, Priverno

Priverno

Everything here is meant to be picked up and turned. The machines and models along the route do the abstract part of mathematics with your hands instead of leaving it on a blackboard.

How the day goes

  1. You work the machines yourself: that is the design of the place, not a concession.
  2. Models that only make sense once you move them, and then make sense completely.
  3. It belongs to Priverno's museum group, so the town has more waiting once you are done.
