De wereld in beeld
The exhibition De wereld in beeld (The World in Pictures), centred on the illustrated textbook Orbis Sensualium Pictus, ran until 1 September 2026. It explored the interplay of word and image in learning. Check which presentation is now on show.
Education as a system
Texts and objects cover ideas about language, the senses and broad education. Read a quotation in the context of its publication before you use it as a modern rule for teaching.
The mausoleum as a place of remembrance
The chapel and the grave show how Comenius was later commemorated. Keep his seventeenth-century life and the design of the mausoleum visible as separate periods.
