This is The Mathenaeum, there are Platonic solids, named after the Greek philosopher who saw them as the most perfect shapes of all. These solids are made up of several kinds of regular polygons, which means that they have same edge lengths, same angles, same shape, same size, every face meets at the corners, etc. An example of a platonic solid is a tetrahedron (4 triangle faces), a cube (6 square faces) or an icosahedron (20 triangle faces). There are also prisms, antiprisms, pyramids, and more! The image above depicts a variety of Platonic solids.
