MoMath's New Home: Math, Exhibits, and an Art Gallery

The National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) moved to a much larger home at 635 Sixth Avenue in Manhattan. The museum opened its new space in February 2026. It now has more rooms, more classrooms, and many hands-on exhibits for visitors to try.

MoMath ran a temporary site called MoMath on Fifth while the move happened. The new museum also has a gallery called Composite that shows art tied to math, and space for young children to learn and play. The address is 635 Sixth Avenue and the museum is open seven days a week. Visitors can join programs, see exhibits, and bring their families.
