    (Translated by Google) One of the first real thinkers about pedagogy, a special place for the Czechs. Small but interesting museum, again this year for one of the exhibitions of the Fotofestival Naarden, with beautiful series about monastic life in Egmond and Tito, the man who held Yugoslavia together. (Original) Een van de eerste echte denkers over pedagogiek, voor Tsjechen een bijzondere plek. Klein maar interessant museum, ook dit jaar onderdak voor een van de exposities van het Fotofestival Naarden, met fraaie series over kloosterleven in Egmond en Tito, de man die Joegoslavië bijeenhield.

    Very fascinating museum, funny that you are even on Czech territory. The welcome was very friendly and I really mean very friendly. Nice man who had time for extra explanation and was clearly passionate. It's also nice that I wasn't immediately chased out at closing time, but that I was given time to finish quietly.

    (Translated by Google) A small but fantastic museum. Comenius was almost a century ahead of his time with his vision that for an optimal didactic result you have to visualize things.

  • 5/5 txllxt T. 5 years ago on Google
    Fifty years ago, in 1968, the 'Prague Spring' abruptly ended because of the brotherly help from the communist neighbours of Czechoslovakia. Quite a number of people choose to live in exile, by which the followed the example of Jan Amos Comenius, a pansophist pedagogue, who is buried in the church that is now part of the Comenius museum. Actually, this church happens to be Czechoslovak (Czech) territory. People who fled for the communist repression still could set a foot on Czechoslovak ground here. It's a nice tiny museum in the beautiful setting of the star shaped fortifications of Naarden Vesting.

    (Translated by Google) What a surprise this small museum in one of the most beautiful fortified towns in the Netherlands, namely Naarden. The influence that this man has had on our education, for example, is enormous. And then also the political aspects! Beautiful sculpture and stained glass windows. Not to mention the beautiful carvings on the first floor. Wilhelmina plaque in the mausoleum. Lots to look at and information about the life of Jan Amos Comenius. When we left the museum we were much impressed. Highly recommended this museum. We were surprised how important this museum is for the Czech people. A kind of place of pilgrimage. (Original) Wat een verrassing dit kleine museum in een van Nederlands mooiste vestingsteden nl Naarden. De invloed die deze man heeft gehad op ons onderwijs bv is enorm. En dan ook nog de politieke aspecten! Prachtig beeldhouwwerk en glas in lood ramen. Niet te vergeten het mooie houtsnijwerk op de eerste verdieping. De plaquette van wilhelmina in het mausoleum. Veel te kijken en informatie over het leven van Jan Amos Comenius. Bij het verlaten van het museum waren we veel indrukken rijker. Een echte aanrader dit museum. We waren verrast hoe belangrijk dit museum is voor het Tsjechische volk. Een soort van bedevaartsoord.

  • 4/5 Peter Z. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Interesting. Comenius received his mausoleum in Naarden. He fled from the Czech Republic to Amsterdam and was buried here. This memorial site in Naarden has been restored by the Czechs and is still visited by many Czechs. Vaclav Havel was also here (Original) Interssant. Comenius kreeg in Naarden zijn mausoleum. Hij vluchtte uit Tsjechie naar Amsterdam en werd hier begraven. Deze gedenkplaats in Naarden is door de Tsjechen gerestaureerd en door veel Tsjechen nog steeds bezocht. Ook Vaclav Havel was hier

  • 5/5 Paul S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Small museum about the life of Comenius. I knew his name as "an old name that had something to do with education." I thought that a special mausoleum had been erected for him, which was 'a bit strange', but hey ... Sometimes strange things happen to the world. But inside, during the exhibition, it dawned on how far ahead the man was in history. Actually, it is strange that the man does not have a more important place in history. (Original) Klein museum over het leven van Comenius. Z'n naam kende ik als 'een oude naam die iets met onderwijs te maken had'. Dat er speciaal een mausoleum voor hem was opgericht vond ik wat 'wat vreemd', maar ach... Er gebeuren soms wel vreemdere dingen op de wereld. Maar binnen, tijdens de tentoonstelling, drong door hoe ver de man eigenlijk voor liep op de geschiedenis. Eigenlijk maar vreemd dat de man niet een belangrijker plaats in de geschiedenis heeft.
