The National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) has relocated its primary operational base to 635 Sixth Avenue, New York, NY 10011. This physical move appears to be a continuation of a transition, as the museum itself was established in response to the closure of a smaller math museum on Long Island.
The museum operates seven days a week, 364 days a year, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. This established schedule suggests a consistent commitment to public accessibility from its new Manhattan address.
Broader Offerings Extend Beyond Physical Space
Beyond its physical presence, MoMath maintains a multifaceted approach to disseminating mathematical concepts. The institution offers 'MM2GO' (Math Midway to Go), a traveling exhibition program, and in-school workshops, enabling outreach to educational institutions. Field trips, both virtual and in-person, are also a core component of their programming.
MoMath's online engagement includes a range of sessions. Participants in these online events are typically required to provide basic materials such as pencils and graph paper, with some sessions specifying pre-provided printouts.

Background
The National Museum of Mathematics, or MoMath, was established as a successor to the Goudreau Museum of Mathematics, a smaller institution located on Long Island that ceased operations. MoMath is noted to hold U.S. patent rights, though the specific nature of these patents is not detailed in the provided materials. The museum's programming appears designed to cater to a broad audience, from young children to adults, and utilizes both physical and digital platforms to convey mathematical ideas. Its location at 635 Sixth Avenue places it within a busy urban center.
