Planet Word Museum of Language
Planet Word is the world’s first voice-activated museum, housed inside the landmark Franklin School in Washington, D.C, built in 1869. Throughout the museum, visitors use their voices to interact with exhibits, while hearing from a diverse cast of leaders, authors, and orators who share what language means to them. The museum features wonders like a smart paintbrush that lets visitors "paint with words," a voice-recognition experience that brings visitors face-to-face with 30 native speakers and signers that renders the unique characteristics of their languages unforgettable, and a projection-mapped sculpture of over 1,000 words that tells the story of English as a continually evolving lexicon, shifting and growing as it encounters the world.
