„Our visitors fully enjoyed "The Gate" exhibition and our attendance this past fall was one of the most successful fall periods we have had at Science World. We look forward to seeing the new Orbis Pictus exhibit which I understand is currently under construction back in TELUS soon."

"The exhibition Orbis Pictus was one of the best and certainly most visited exhibitions presented in the Michal Mine. We have recorded an enormous interest of not only children but primarily adult visitors. The playfulness and mystery of the exhibition gave a strange magic to the severe working space; its sound harmonies reverberated in the otherwise sadly silent corners of the stone and coal mine. The visitors' experience of the interconnection of the exhibition and its place must have been unforgettable".
The Brno House of Arts
Curator
PhDr. Jitka Vitásková
"The exhibition ORBIS PICTUS, held in the Brno House of Arts between May 11 and June 2007, has become one of the most visited exhibitions in the modern history of our gallery. Altogether 14 814 visitors have attended the exhibition, the daily average being 436 people. To compare, we consider an exhibition "successful" if visited at least by 4 000 people. The extraordinary interest in this project even forced us to create waiting lists for the individual visits."

"Designed for the public of Paris, the exhibition Orbis Pictus enabled us diplomats to address the representatives of both the parliament and the town halls of the Paris area in a completely new way. It gave us the opportunity to speak about the Czech Republic in the light of originality and creativity, in connection with history and in reference to great personalities such as J.A. Comenius."
