If in #Tours please do visit the Printing Museum. The result of the passion and dedication of one 85-year old ex-printer it is an eclectic collection of French and regional printing - full of stuff, love and enthusiasm.

On 14 May 2022, the new letterpress museum "Die Bleilaus" opens in Soltau. As an experience workshop, the aim of the #Bleilaus is to teach the art of #typesetting and #printing to anyone interested.

Want to know how the proposed British Museum of Printing is progressing? Then tune in to listen to @lee_hale17 who will be speaking at the next @PrintHistory 20x20 night. A 400 second presentation, but considerably longer for questions! Its free! cphc.org.uk/events/2021/10/2…

“printing heritage is at risk, with historical printing artefacts and archives neither documented nor preserved in a co-ordinated manner. The majority of museum holdings are in storage and inaccessible to the public. So a British Museum of Printing is long overdue.”
