Printing museums

I always enjoy walking around in museums, especially if they have something to do with printing. You can check out this international overview to see if there are any such museums in your neighborhood. To wet your appetite, I have assembled a few pages with pictures from local printing museums. For photographs of great libraries, you really should visit this site.

• The national museum of the playing card – Turnhout, Belgium
• Plantin-Moretus museum – Antwerp, Belgium
• Historische drukkerij – Turnhout, Belgium
• Het huis van Alijn – Ghent, Belgium
