The Museum of Shapes

Alma is curating an exhibition at the Museum of Shapes. Learn all about the shapes that make our world and help her put her exhibition together!

 

 

Welcome to the Museum of Shapes. Alma is the curator of the museum. She decides which shapes should go where. Triangles have three sides and three angles. Can you help Alma find all the triangles on the shelves?

 

Alma’s favourite shape is a circle. All the points on the edge of a circle are the same distance from its centre. Not all shapes are geometric. Some lines are wiggly and messy. Can you make a wiggly line with your body?

 

 

This is an engaging and informative book about the shapes that make up our world. The narrative framework is complemented by interactive texts and gorgeous, minimalist illustration, shedding new light on the beauty of geometry.
