Planet Word is a museum of language. (Stifle that yawn!) It is a dynamic and interesting museum. Off the beaten path from the most popular Washington attractions, it is not beset by the hordes of visitors that many DC museums experience. It is only two years old, having opened in 2020. It is a very interactive museum, so my photos don’t really do it justice. It’s a fun place and from what I saw on my visit, kids enjoy it too. And it’s free







A few words of wisdom












No yawns here, Ken. Looks great! And that Little Red Riding Hood poster is powerful!

As often as I go to DC, I’ve never heard of this museum. I have to check it out. The picture with the two little girls is powerful and sad. Unfortunately it’s the norm now in many parts of the United States.

Such a timely statement – and I hope it the books and knowledge the museum houses don’t become part of our ancient past…
