About

Museum collection includes hard to find printing presses and other machines from the 19th century as well as tools and objects that present the development of typography from the days of Gutenberg up to our days. Rare books and newspapers as well as our precious lithographs travel the visitor in the art of Typography and the local history of Crete. Visitors are encouraged to print on the old printing presses. During the winter, besides our daily schedule, the museum is open on the first Sunday of each month 10:00 - 15:00 and it is possible to arrange group visits on different days and hours.
