Fun for young and old at Giessen’s Math Museum

Children and adults enjoy the many challenging puzzles and interactive exhibits at Giessen’s Mathematics Museum. The museum, which opened last year and is located near the Giessen Hauptbahnhof on Liebigstr. 8, features several floors of displays — most of which challenge visitors to put on their thinking caps to work out puzzles using logic and basic math skills. Building blocks to form arches, giant soap bubbles, wooden triangles and plenty of other unique exhibits are guaranteed to keep visitors entertained for several hours. The museum is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., until 8 p.m. Thursdays and weekends from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Entrance is Ý6 for adults, c4 for youths and v12 for a family ticket. The museum is a one minute walk from the train station. Follow signs to the Bahnhof when driving. Call civ (641) 969 7970 or visit www.mathematikum.de for more information.
