Playing with Mathematics

What do a fashion model, a Formula 1 driver, and a musician have in common? Math!

Permanent exhibition

What to expect?

In the hands-on exhibition Playing with Mathemathics at Rijksmuseum Boerhaave, you’ll discover in a playful way how mathematics is all around us. Try out puzzles and experiments that show how math works in everyday life. Find out, for example, how shapes, patterns, and numbers appear in nature.

Create your own whirlpool, build a bridge, and discover what sound looks like. Play with perspective like an artist and see how math is connected to everything. This interactive exhibition is suitable for all ages and makes math fun and easy to understand for everyone. Come and explore mathematics in a surprising way!
