Welcome to the IMAGINARY.org wiki pages of how to organize an IMAGINARY exhibition.

This Wikipage is associated to the website http://www.imaginary.org and should serve as a collection of useful information regarding how to set up anything from a one off small IMAGINARY school event to a permanent IMAGINARY museum installation.

IMAGINARY Philosophy

IMAGINARY is an open source platform for interactive and participative maths communication where everybody can share maths exhibits and exhibitions. The platform www.imaginary.org currently hosts over a hundred exhibits in form of image galleries, mathematical films, interactive programs and hands-on exhibits. This includes the two successful exhibitions: “IMAGINARY – through the eyes of mathematics” and “Mathematics of Planet Earth”. The latter was developed by the community for the project Mathematics of Planet Earth 2013. The exhibitions have been shown in more than 80 cities in 20 countries and attracted more than 1 million visitors.

Through the platform, all material is made available to museums, schools and a broad audience under a free licence and can thus be reproduced and used for individual exhibitions and events. Moreover, IMAGINARY provides an opportunity for all users to contribute their own material and serves as a hub for exchange of ideas in the field of mathematics communication.

From 2013-2016 IMAGINARY will focus on the communication of current research and modern maths through the new project “Oberwolfach meets IMAGINARY” supported by the Klaus Tschira Stiftung.
