Holiday Art (and Math) on the Lawn at Neil-Cochran House Museum

We love to come out to this museum!  Its side garden is home to one of our first outdoor installations, the Pythagorean Tables.  Together they represent the 3-4 -5 triangle classic, but also each table tells a math story of its own.  The 3 x 3 is a Penrose Stair, the 4 x 4 is subdivided to 8 x 8 for chess and checkers and the 5 x 5 has a proof without words.

The outdoor setting is perfect for a relaxed day of fractal ornaments, cupcakes and art.
