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.

Before you go

Outside winter Tuesday–Sunday 12.00–17.00; in winter Wednesday–Sunday until 16.00. Public holidays and private events may lead to closure.
