Dear All Geoff Wain (who ran the PopMaths Roadshow in 1990) and Margaret Brown of Kings College London have formed a small group that aims to set up a permanent "Mathematics Museum" in the UK -though the word museum has the wrong connotations, better to think of it as something highly interactive that will attract all age groups, more along the lines of the old "Exploratory" in Bristol. The USA has set a precedent, with its travelling exhibition that's due to become a permanent "museum" in New York http://momath.org/ Projects like this need substantial funding, and only succeed if there is a core group of individuals who are passionate about the idea and committed to driving it forward. I suggested to Geoff that those individuals might be found within the Maths Prom list. If you want to help bring about a UK Maths Museum/Exploratory , can you email Geoff Wain to express interest.
