The Museum of Mathematics will open in Manhattan in 2012 and they already have their website up and running. The goal of the museum is to enhance public understanding of mathematics. The materials on the site are divided into six primary sections, including "Press", "News", and "Gallery". In the "Gallery", visitors can learn about the Museum's construction and also watch entertaining and instructional videos. The videos include "Symmetry, Art & Illusion", "The Man Who Loved Only Numbers", and "The Geometry of Origami". Further along, visitors can learn about their traveling exhibition "The Math Midway" and also sign up to receive their Twitter updates. The site is rounded out by a link where visitors can become a museum member or shop for math-related items.
