GÖMBÖC IN THE MEDIA
The Gömböc has made its debut on the cover of the prestigious Mathematical Intelligencer. The
previous Hungarian invention on the cover of this journal was Rubik’s Cube, in 1979. In 2007 the
Gömböc was featured among the 70 most interesting inventions of the year by the New York Times
Magazine. Individual, numbered pieces are on permanent exhibit at world-renowned institutions, such
as the University of Cambridge (Gömböc 1209), the University of Oxford (Gömböc 2013), Princeton
University (Gömböc 1746), the University of Göttingen (Gömböc 1737) and the Institute Poincaré in
Paris (Gömböc 1928). The Gömböc was Hungary’s offering at the World Expo in Shanghai, in 2010.
Recently the Gömböc also at the biennial world chef championship Bocuse d’Or, on the stage of the
Halle Opera and on BBC 1 with Stephen Fry. The Gömböc has also inspired high-quality contemporary
art. So far, articles in 28 languages have been published about the Gömböc.
