The National Museum of Language combines virtual exhibits, outreach and community engagement to inspire an appreciation for the magic and beauty of language. These efforts include a movable museum, summer language camps, a speaker series and a website featuring world language themes, articles, blogs and information that appeal to a national audience. Online exhibits make the history of developing the Dictionary of American Regional English come to life.
