My fiancé and I visited the museum this weekend (her first time and my second). Just…WOW!! We loved learning so much about language through the exhibits and just love how fun the joy of learning is here! My fiancé and I loved the humor exhibit and a few of the other stationary interactive lectures! We loved acting out a vocabulary word in the photo booth as well!! I wish there were more places like this for the general public across the globe; maybe a bigger movement some day. My dad came here with a group from his office and only had good remarks about this museum. I credit EVERY person who works to make this museum possible and will evangelize this place to the ends of the earth lol but in seriousness yes! Please come here, explore the exhibits, the store, the website. You will NOT regret it! ❤️ Thank you Planet Word friends!
