Planet Word Museum, an Adventure in Words

Monday, June 9, 2025, 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM

A 2024 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award winner, Planet Word is the only museum in the country dedicated to renewing and inspiring a love of words and language. Located in the historic Franklin School on the corner of 13th and K Streets in downtown D.C., Planet Word opened in 2020 as a new kind of interactive and self-guided museum. Using the museum’s
state-of-the-art technology, visitors determine their experience through their own words and choices. Planet Word is a bold and imaginative response to the life-long importance of literacy and to the challenge of growing a love of language.

Hear from founder and President of Planet Word, Ann Friedman, about why she founded this unique museum and the many fun and enriching activities they have for visitors of all ages, like Lexicon Lane and Word Art.
