Het Citatenmuseum: an online visit centred on language

Het Citatenmuseum (The Quotations Museum) is now an online initiative. There is no current physical museum location to walk into. The website is the gateway to quotations, language projects and books associated with the initiative.

Plan your visit ↗

Rereading a saying

A quotation gains meaning from the words around it, the speaker and the occasion. So use the texts offered as a prompt to look at origin and context too, when these are available.

Language as subject

The projects place the emphasis on writing and phrasing. Compare how a thought changes when it is expressed very concisely; an appealing sentence can at the same time raise questions that need more explanation.

Addresses from the past

Old listings mention various locations, including Scheveningen. Those addresses are not a current invitation to visit a museum. Check only the current website for any activities.

Before you go

Do not plan a trip to an old visiting address. Any gatherings have their own announcement; the online presence does not mean there are fixed opening hours for a building.
