Exhibit of Mathematical Art - a collection of puzzles and games, both hands-on and interactive, to be enjoyed by kids from ages 2 to 102. The colorful pieces, which invite your tactile response, are finely-crafted from Minnesota hardwoods. The puzzles can be appreciated on
a number of levels, from novice to expert; the more you know about them the more you enjoy them. The displays include building blocks for sculpture and design, put-together and take-apart puzzles, arrangement puzzles,
sequential movement puzzles, sliding block puzzles, and two-person games.
