The model and sketches above are from the Musée D’Orsay in Paris and show a section of the Paris Opera (Garnier) and proposals for the original ceiling in the auditorium, which is now covered by a 1964 painting by Marc Chagall.
Didactic Displays

Making a Violin
Plaster Mathematical Models in Stereo
Wooden Mathematical Models in Stereo
A collection of wooden mathematical models from the science museum in London, near neighbours of the Klein Bottles I posted a few days ago.
Usual process for resolving the stereo pairs (or check back a few posts for suggestions on how to do this).
Didactic Bird Displays
Écorché Horse
Glass Klein Bottles in Stereo
A set of Klein Bottles made by Allan Bennett at the Science Museum in London. The museum seems as much one of the history of display as it is of the things that are displayed, and the mathematics gallery is one of the most confused, despite a delicious selection of exhibits. There is therefore a lot of visual confusion surrounding these wonderful didactic models.
Usual process to view the stereo images (look back a few posts for suggestions if you are new to the blog).
And Happy New Year!
