Details

You’ll never look at the world in the same way again! Created by the Museum of Science and Industry (MSI) in Chicago, A Mirror Maze: Numbers in Nature, is an interactive and immersive exhibition that exposes and explains the mathematical patterns that abound in the natural world. From the delicate nested spirals of a sunflower’s seeds to the layout of the universe, this exhibition provides a unique perspective on our daily surroundings.

The centerpiece of the exhibition is an 1,800 square foot elaborate mirror maze in which you can navigate a seemingly infinite repeating pattern of mirrors. Interactive elements throughout A Mirror Maze: Numbers in Nature allow for hands-on learning, providing evidence that math is all around us in everyday life and revealing the beauty of our world through numbers.

Visiting with a Grade 3/4 class? Consider reserving Patterns and Proportions, a school workshop designed to complement this exhibition. Available April–June 2019.
