When I was growing up, I lived in southern California and loved to visit the Museum of Science and Industry. One of my favorite exhibits was the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematica:_A_World_of_Numbers..._and_Beyond exhibit, sponsored by IBM and put together by Charles and Ray Eames.
Problem is, when I saw it, I was much younger than I am now, and I didn't really understand very much of what I saw. I went and took pictures of it later, but not enough, and not of what I needed, which was the descriptive plaques.
The exhibit closed in 1998 and was moved all over the place, before setting down in Boston, at the Museum of Science. Apparently there are two copies, at the New York Hall of Science and the Atlanta Science and Technology Museum.
Anyone who lives in one of those cities, can I ask a favor? Take your camera to the exhibit, and take lots of good pictures of it, particularly the http://www.flickr.com/photos/ideonexus/2556787829/in/set-72157605471470914/. There is a model of the Riemann zeta function that I am particularly interested in, especially approximate dimensions, so pictures from all sides, including the ends of the case, would be appreciated. Also take good readable pictures of all the descriptive plaques.
Thanks!
