The Gallery houses a vast collection of exhibits and offers numerous hands-on activities to engage the public. Among the various models on display, you can admire Leonardo da Vinci’s prototype of the Ycocedron Abscisus Vacuus and Pacioli’s Icosahedron.

The museum houses the portrait of Luca Pacioli and his student (1495) by the painter Jacopo de' Barbari. The Franciscan friar is depicted while he is trying to prove the theorem of Euclid in the company of a young man, perhaps Guidobaldo da Montefeltro, to whom he dedicated his work “Summa de arithmetica, geometria, proportioni et proporzionalitą”.

 

Sansepolcro

In the hometown of Pacioli there is a statue dedicated to him in Piazza San Francesco, in front of the monastery where the scholar lived, and a plaque on Via dei Cipolli where he was born. The “Summa de arithmetica, geometria, proportioni et proporzionalitą” is kept in the Public Library.

When arriving in the city of Urbino you are greeted by an icosahedron model (a figure in the book The Divine Proportion), one of the regular polyhedra, made in wood by  students at the local Academy of Fine Arts. There is also a special  sightseeing route through the streets of the city, which takes you to all of the places and monuments related to the illustrious people that have made the city famous.
