Maths and 19th century skulls: Take a tour of Zaha Hadid's stunning £5 million exhibition at the London Science Museum

The London Science Museum has just opened The Winton Gallery, a multi-million pound exhibition dedicated to how mathematics shapes the world.

The gallery, which will open to the public on December 8 2016, was designed by Zaha Hadid. It cost £5 million ($6.3 million) and took more than two years to build.

The Winton Gallery covers all the ways that maths is applied practically to real life - from finance and medicine, to war and even architecture.

Hadid, who died in March 2016 before the gallery was finished, was the first woman to receive the Royal Institute of British Architects (Riba) Gold Medal in recognition of her work. The Winton Gallery is Zaha Hadid Architects' first exhibition project.

Speaking at the gallery's launch, Ian Blatchford, Director of the Science Museum Group, said the gallery "will be a lasting tribute to this world-changing architect and provide inspiration for our millions of visitors for many years to come."
