A playful way to discover, remember and connect with the world of Art
An Art Crossword is more than a simple word puzzle.
It is a small journey through the history of art, where names of artists, movements, techniques and cultural references come together through clues and connections.
By solving a crossword, we do not simply search for words.
We remember artists, discover new names, make associations and strengthen our knowledge of art - all while having fun.
When was the crossword invented?
The modern crossword puzzle was created in 1913 by American journalist Arthur Wynne.
The first known crossword was published on December 21, 1913, in the New York World newspaper.
What began as a newspaper entertainment soon became a worldwide cultural phenomenon.
Crosswords have since appeared in newspapers, magazines, books, schools and, more recently, digital media.
The basic idea has remained wonderfully simple: words intersect with one another, and every answer helps reveal another answer.
From the traditional crossword to the Art Crossword
The crossword format can be adapted to almost any subject.
