MiMa, Museum for Minerals and Mathematics Oberwolfach
Dear visitors of the MiMa museum,
We invite you to have a look at the wonderful world of minerals and mathematics in a way you have perhaps never done before.
The MiMa museum does not only host the one-of-a-kind minerals of the Black Forest region or provides insights into mathematical theories, it especially presents the connection
between minerals and mathematics: interactive installations let you understand symmetry and crystallography in a playful way.
