Recently I visited MO Math, also known as the Museum of Mathematics. It is located in New York City and is just about a three to five minute walk from Baruch College. This museum obviously is about math, but is actually way more interesting than the typical museum of just facts. This museum is an interactive museum. As you walk throughout the museum, there are many exhibits that you can choose from to learn about. There are actually a lot of young children there as well because the museum is so much fun. I typically don’t find museums to be all that interesting but I did enjoy going to this museum. My favorite subject has always been math and to go to a museum all about my favorite subject was pretty cool. Also, I feel that I am pretty good at math, but going to this museum showed me there is a lot I don’t know about, and so much I would want to know about.
As you can see from the picture I posted, my favorite exhibit was the chair. I was fascinated that the museum could even make sitting in a chair fun. I think that was the most popular exhibit there because it was so much fun. Everyone in the museum had a smile on there face, even the workers. Laughter filled the air rather than whispers. I definitely recommend going to this museum to anyone, and I would even go back again.
Visiting the Museum of Mathematics has assisted me during my first seminar at Baruch. I am originally from Queens located New York, and growing I rarely visited the city. Walking around the city and finding this museum has helped me to get more comfortable wandering around in the city. Also, the museum showed me that learning could actually be really fun. This is helpful because I actually want to get more involved in my classes. Visiting this museum has definitely showed me there is so much to learn and how eye opening it could be. So, if you’re looking for something to do during one of your breaks at Baruch, visit the Museum of Mathematics!
