In the mediaeval paper mill building, the Museum leads you, on its four floors, first through the history of paper, of writing and of the written word, and then about type-setting and printing, up to the printed book. This is supported by the Museum’s remarkable collection, including many historic rarities. The lay-out of exhibits alternates with authentic workshops, where historic machines are in production for you, and where you may yourself try your skills at work, and so gain first-hand experience. Making paper, writing with a goose quill or pen, using a typewriter, setting your own name in cast letters, and playing with patterns in the Marbling workshop, are all in reach during your Museum visit.
