What they said about<br />
ORBIS PICTUS PLAY<br />
MF DNES<br />
“The PLAY exhibition in the Mánes gallery was visited by a record number of people. Its success lies in<br />
the fact that the exhibition brings people joy and is for everyone. … This earned the exhibition first<br />
place among the most successful and most visited exhibitions in the Czech Republic in recent years.”<br />
Anna Baumová, MF DNES<br />

“... Initiatives such as ORBIS PICTUS are very important. They motivate people to think in a new mode,<br />
to look for and invent new ways – which is the foundation of an innovative society. … Promoting the<br />
European Year of Creativity and Innovation, ORBIS PICTUS will now tour European capitals. In Brussels<br />
it was undoubtedly an unprecedented success.”<br />
Noemi Cano reporting from Brussels’ Couleur Café festival<br />
EUROPEAN UNION<br />
“Comenius’s way of thinking has inspired me to nominate 2009 as the European Year of Creativity and<br />
Innovation.”<br />
Ján Figel‘, EU Commissioner

What is ORBIS PICTUS PLAY?<br />
The ORBIS PICTUS PLAY project is an international system of travelling exhibitions and accompanying<br />
events. The exhibitions develop imagination and creativity and they are fully interactive. The concept<br />
of the exhibits is based on people touching them, entering into them, playing with them and, in<br />
a way, completing them. The exhibits are in fact instruments, coming to life only after the viewer has<br />
participated.<br />
ORBIS PICTUS PLAY is also an original, creative new way of experiencing the world. The ORBIS PICTUS<br />
project is a concept that is being implemented on a long-term basis. At this point, its plan extends to<br />
2023, when an exhibition will be presented in Naarden, the Netherlands celebrating the 400th<br />
anniversary of the completion of the wonderful and timeless work of John Amos Comenius – The<br />
Labyrinth of the World and Paradise of the Heart, a book that became the inspiration for the project.<br />
ORBIS PICTUS PLAY is playful on all levels. From interacting with individual exhibits to creating and<br />
finding connections and references within the exhibition, workshops, and continuing within the realm<br />
of the internet portal.<br />
