Words matter. Planet Word is the only museum in the country dedicated to renewing and inspiring a love of words and language. Reach us at planetwordmuseum.org/contact-us/.
Happy #GrandparentsDay! On this day, we’re reflecting on the importance of stories — like the Dena’ina stories shared by Annie Wenstrup’s chada (“grandfather”) — and the elders who keep them alive by passing them on to the next generation. #SundayStanzas poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine…
Planet Word is closed today, Saturday, September 9, for a private event.
Reading is not just a skill, it’s a fundamental human right. In recognition of #NationalLiteracyMonth, we’ve curated a selection of resources about literacy — a vital issue that impacts us all — and the science of reading. Explore now: planetwordmuseum.org/national-liter…
Planet Word is closing early today, Friday, September 8, at 4 p.m. for a private event.
What do the words flutter, burrito, interrogate, and bromance have in common? They’re among the 1,000 words featured on our Word Wall! Go on an interactive etymological adventure and learn about the origins of these and many other words in the Where Do Words Come From gallery.
📚It’s National ReadABookDay, and there’s no better way to spend it than at Planet Word! Stop by to explore the books in our Library, shop for a new favorite read in our gift shop, or check out the selection in our Little Free Library — today through 7 p.m.! (📷 IG: nthdraft)
Read the latest from Planet Word’s founder Ann Friedman: “Change is coming to Planet Word, as was always inevitable, but it will be grounded in these fundamental, unchanging values that make Planet Word the engaging, welcoming, open place it aims to be.”planetwordmuseum.org/from-the-found…
Happy Birthday, Freddie Mercury! Known for his incredible vocal range and stage presence, the frontman of Queen also had a flair for songwriting. “Bohemian Rhapsody” uses all kinds of rhymes and wordplay, taking listeners on a rollicking, sometimes nonsensical ride. #Tunesday
Happy Labor Day! Beat the heat in our cool galleries —and learn something while you’re at it! Planet Word is open today, Monday, September 4, with regular hours 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Let's hope Shel Silverstein’s poem “Sick” doesn’t mark the start of a new school year for any kids you know! Read the full poem at poets.org/poem/sick and get a chuckle out of the twist at the end! #SundayStanzas
Does the word “alliteration” make you feel merry? Maybe “mellifluous” is music to your ears, or you have a soft spot for the much-maligned “moist.” In the Words Matter gallery, answer up to eight prompts and share the words that are most meaningful to you with other visitors.
Get ready to unlock a world of words this #SpookySeason! October General Admission and Lexicon Lane passes are now available at Planet Word. Reserve your tickets in advance at planetwordmuseum.org to make sure you snag your preferred date and entry time. (📷 IG: prasad.jpg)
From Amharic to Zulu, Planet Word’s Spoken World gallery features nearly 30 languages from around the world. Take a mini language lesson from one of our ambassadors and learn about name formation in Icelandic, counting words in Korean, and clicks in Zulu.
Happy #Frankenstein Day! Did you know that Mary Shelley’s gothic classic is widely regarded as the first science fiction novel? The story originally came to Shelley in a “waking dream” during a friendly ghost story competition on a trip to Lake Geneva.
Word Association members can now reserve General Admission and Lexicon Lane passes for October! Not a member yet? Become one today to support the museum and take advantage of exclusive membership benefits: planetwordmuseum.org/membership (📷 IG: emsdigitaldiaryy_)
#OTD in 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech during the March on Washington. Using oratorical techniques like metaphor, repetition, and quotation to great effect, King’s speech has left a powerful impression on generations of listeners and readers.
In her poem “‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers,” Emily Dickinson uses the metaphor of a bird to convey hope’s power to uplift the spirit and help us persevere through life’s trials. #SundayStanzas Read the full poem: poetryfoundation.org/poems/42889/ho…
It’s #WomensEqualityDay, commemorating the certification of the 19th Amendment that granted women the right to vote. Four small words in the amendment, “on account of sex,” marked an important first step towards women’s rights and equality under the Constitution. #WordsMatter
Add a little more magic and spontaneity to your Planet Word visit with a stop by our Short Story Dispenser! With the touch of a button, you can dispense a little literary souvenir to take home with you. (📷 Les Talusan)
