<p>An original S.I. metre bar.</p> <p>Who wouldn't love to see one of those in person?</p>

<p>I'd love to see an exhibit devoted to beautiful and intuitive proofs. Most of us mere mortals will never be able to understand Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, but there are some phenomenally interesting and important proofs out there that the average person might be excited to learn about. For instance, using Cantor Diagonalization to prove the uncountability of real numbers. Fascinating and accessible!</p>

The SI metre bars are pieces of math and science history. I think it could be part of a great exhibit.
