Where Printing Comes to Life

At the National Print Museum, we invite you to participate in the collection. The museum is set up like a traditional print shop, with fully operational letterpress printing equipment that you can see in action.

History comes to life in an immersive, hands-on experience. From the moment you step inside, you’ll embark on a journey through time, connecting with the stories, ideas, and events that have shaped our world through the power of the printed word.

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.
