Abstract

Abstract A sectional photo display cube having six faces for displaying photos thereon. The cube includes two complementary shaped sections each of which includes a plurality of blocks projecting perpendicularly therefrom. The blocks in one of the sections are shaped to interfit with the blocks in the other of the sections to form a cube when assembled and each of the sections includes at least one surface area forming a fractional portion of each face of the cube.
