Pictures from printing museums
I always enjoy museums, especially if they have something to do with printing. The following museums are in my vicinity and allow photography:
- The national museum of the playing card – Turnhout, Belgium

- Historische drukkerij – Turnhout, Belgium
- Het huis van Alijn – Ghent, Belgium
