    $\begingroup$ From Wikipedia: "Charles Pugh's chicken-wire models (subsequently stolen from the Mathematics Department at Berkeley)". But no citation to the theft is given. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 5 at 3:48
  • $\begingroup$ just to mention it: the chicken wire model is actually a Fullerene graph and must contain 12 pentagons; the rectangular grid computer animation shows a socalled cubed sphere. would be interesting to have the mathematical model of the physicsal chicken wire model $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 5 at 6:13

    $\begingroup$ I believe the chicken-wire models were based on Bernard Morin's sphere eversion. They were stolen sometime during a summer weekend in the late 1970s. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 5 at 10:49
