A fascinating, unexpected gem of a museum showcasing all kinds of historical printing machines. I left with a greater appreciation for all of the innovations that helped move print technology forward. I highly recommend taking the guided tour. It really added a lot to the museum experience, and the guide was great!

What People Are Saying
Liam was an excellent tour guide and we loved the interactive nature of the print museum – being able the use the machines and create prints was excellent. The tour guide and other people in the museum were very well informed about the history and the machines, and were able to nimbly answer questions and demonstrate things. Highly recommend the guided tour.
