Princeton Muse

What if conversation were more than just small talk? Become part of a forum for sincere, meaningful exchange.

Hello, we're Muse

We are an organization that offers an escape from the regular small talk that inhabits the Orange Bubble. By providing a carefully selected menu of conversation questions, we hope to facilitate interesting and genuine conversation between two strangers.

Based on an original idea by Oxford scholar Theodore Zeldin, Princeton Muse seeks to promote openness and curiosity through a sincere exchange between two people, away from judgment and convention.

To learn more about Muse, we encourage you to visit the site of our "parent" chapter, The Oxford Muse Society, and the Oxford Muse Foundation. You can also read about us in The Daily Princetonian.
