The Goudreau Museum of Mathematics in Art and Science was a museum of mathematics that was open from 1980 to 2006 in Long Island, New York.[1] The museum was named after mathematics teacher Bernhard Goudreau, who died in 1985, and featured many of the 3-dimensional solid models, oversized wooden math games, and puzzles built by Goudreau and his former students.[2] After the museum closed, former math professor Glen Whitney opened the Museum of Mathematics in Manhattan in December 2012.[3]
