Where Printing Comes to Life
At the National Print Museum, we invite you to engage with a living museum experience. Set up like a traditional print shop, the Museum features fully operational letterpress printing equipment that you can see in action—and, on occasion, even try for yourself!
Experience history as it comes to life through hands-on experiences, and witness the craft of printing as it once was. From the moment you step inside, you’ll journey through time, connecting with the stories, ideas, and events that have shaped our world through the power of the printed word.
Exhibitions & Collection
Discover the Museum’s working collection of letterpress printing machinery and equipment, all representing Ireland’s centuries-old printing heritage. Rotating exhibitions explore the broader power of print and design and their impact on everyday life, from political pamphlets to bottle labels and theatre posters.
