The Gutenberg Museum's print store

The print shop smells of craftsmanship. Of color pigments, turpentine, oil, paper. Some people just come in to take a quick sniff, but those who stay longer will find all the tools they need for printing: hand presses, typesetting materials, lead and wooden letters, and various types of paper.

A visit to the print shop is great fun, especially for children and school classes, but also for parents and accompanying adults!
