Guided tours of the National Print Museum’s permanent exhibition are offered to individual visitors and pre-booked groups.
During our interactive guided tour, after a short audio-visual presentation and a brief introduction to the history of printing, a tour guide will bring you on a journey of discovery through the Museum’s three part print-shop style exhibition; the composing, printing and finishing areas. You will also have the opportunity to hand-compose and print during the tour.
