What People Are Saying
The experience in this museum was amazing! Better than I expected. It's really interesting to see so many different old print machines and how they worked. Our guide Liam made my day. He explained all the history to us. His English is so easy to understand. Also he is very kind and polite. I totally recommend a visit to this place.

The reviews say it all - excellent museum and Ciaran was a hoot. We enjoyed this museum immensely - probably the highlight of our few days in Dublin. Grabbed a takeaway coffee and smoothie from the neighbouring cafe which seemed very popular.
