"Planet Word explains itself as "the museum where language comes to life," which means it's not driven by artifacts or a collection, per se. This place is all about the fleeting words we use every day to express ourselves, without even thinking about it. While it seems like a niche topic—one that English majors, book lovers, foreign language learners, and linguists will love—founder and former teacher Ann Friedman hopes to spark conversations and an appreciation for literacy in everyone who visits. Located at 13th and K Streets NW at Franklin Square, this free museum opened in October 2020." - Amy McKeever, Adele Chapin
