Enjoy a virtual tour of Maria Montessori's Study, narrated as if she were guiding us herself:

I was appointed Officer in the Order of Orange Nassau. This was a thrilling and humbling experience, especially because I admired Queen Juliana of the Netherlands. In her I saw a kindred spirit as she was so devoted to peace.
