The Gutenberg Museum

The Gutenberg Museum, one of the oldest printing museums in the world, invites you to journey through 4,000 years of writing and printing history. From the cuneiform tablet through to modern typography, from handwriting to the printing press, from Gutenberg’s workshop to newspaper rotary presses, The Gutenberg Museum’s permanent and temporary exhibitions give an exciting glimpse into the realm of the “black art”. Founded in 1900, The Gutenberg Museum focuses on the man himself as well as all aspects of printing. Printing-related machinery, typesetting machines, and printing presses from the 15th century to the present day are on display.
