Intro
The Graphos Museum presents the history of type, and printing in particular, in a vivid way.
The Graphos Museum presents the history of writing and, in particular, printing in a vivid way. It presents 50,000 years of the development of language and writing and centuries in which books were only written by hand on parchment up to Gutenberg. In addition, the subsequent developments are thematized: from hand typesetting to mechanization with the invention of the typesetting machine in 1886 to the end of the lead age and the beginning of electronics.
In workshops, visitors can try their hand at printing themselves. They make the living letterpress museum, where professional prints continue to be produced, an entertaining and impressive meeting and educational place.
