TitleNew Language Museum Planned in Denmark
Body
AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE MUSEUM IN DENMARK

In August 2006 the initiative was taken to build a language museum, or rather a modern interactive language exploration activity center, in Denmark's second largest city, Aarhus.

The vision is to erect a modern museum presenting all sides of the phenomenon of language in a variety of ways that are appealing, engrossing and educational to the general public, child and adult. State-of-the-art advanced interactive set-ups are envisaged with multiple hands-on exhibitions. Top-notch technology will involve visitors with each other, providing an unusual meeting place with people speaking other languages.

Denmark's International Language Museum does not only deal with the Danish language. The museum will furnish a portal for the phenomenon of language in its many diverse forms and functions. It will provide insights into the diversity of the world's more than 6000 languages, and a voyage of discovery into the realm of the ultimate essence of humanity.
