The first individual Gömböc, with serial number 001, was presented by the inventors to Vladimir Igorevich Arnold on August 20th 2007, at the conference organized in the honour of his 70th birthday, at the Steklov Mathematical Institute in Moscow.
Before his tragic death Arnold decided to donate Gömböc 001 to the collection of the Institute which is the foremost center of the world-famous Russian mathematical research. Currently, visitors can admire this historic Gömböc in a showcase built from a cupboard which used to belong to P.L. Chebyshev.
A special cartoon was created about the motion of Gömböc 001:
