Exhibition ‘Matemifasol’

An exhibition never seen before will be held in Barcelona. Whether you are a musician, mathematician or enthusiast, you have to make your way to CosmoCaixa. You do not have to be an expert in numbers to know that they govern the laws of the nature around us and our own nature as a human species. ‘Matemifasol’ will help you understand how much numerical logic melodies conceal.

These connections between music and mathematics were already being made in antiquity. Although many details have been refined, the common historical path taken by mathematics and music is clear. One of the exhibition’s aims is precisely to show the public how these notions arose and how they have become much more closely associated over the years. It will also guide you through the cognitive and emotional mechanisms for understanding sound and how what happens with it can be described mathematically.

If you feel like going, you will follow a path full of myths and historical figures, showing how numbers influence music and vice versa. You will discover sound where you thought none existed, and also how silence leads to the chaos that governs our world today. What are you waiting for? Head to the museum and get your tickets, bring your friends and discover the fascinating world of numbers and melodies together.
