The National Print Museum offers both guided and self-guided visits. Every visit begins with a short audio-visual presentation where the audience can observe active retired printers providing practical demonstrations of machines from the Museum's collection. Information panels and labels guide the self-guided visitor while the guided tour provides further explanations of the history of this traditional craft and the technology associated with it. Guided tours also offer the unique opportunity for visitors to try hand-setting and printing themselves! Where applicable, visitors are then invited to peruse the temporary exhibition on display.
Guided tours are available daily on arrival with a scheduled public tour taking place every Sunday at 3pm. Group tours can also be booked in advance. The National Print Museum endeavours to offer guided tours to groups of all abilities; please contact the Education Officer if there is anything that we could provide to enhance your visit.
As part of National Heritage Week 2011, the Museum will facilitate free lunchtime tours at 13.00 Monday 22nd - Friday 26th August.
