Mission & Vision
The power of the printed word as told by the Plantin-Moretus Museum, and its impact on people and society.
Become a friend
Real friends are for life. The friends’ circle of the Museum Plantin-Moretus also plays an important role in the museum’s existence. Whether you take the lead in activities or prefer to stay quietly in the background: as an official member, you support the museum’s daily operations, follow every new step, and meet like-minded people.

Friends as ambassadors
What would it have been like back then? The collaboration between master printers, apprentices, typesetters, and proofreaders? In that lively bustle, strong bonds were undoubtedly forged. And the private quarters and garden often formed the backdrop for moments of joy and entertainment with friends and like-minded spirits. In that spirit, the Museum Plantin-Moretus continues to build strong relationships with everyone who feels at home here. As a friend, you are an ambassador whose passion for the museum also inspires others. In return, you can count on a range of benefits:
- you are the first to hear about new activities and projects
- you have free access to the permanent collection
- you receive a discount on publications, temporary exhibitions, and your purchases in the museum shop
- you receive an invitation to every lecture
- you may take part in excursions organised by the Friends Association
