Workshops
Various workshops introduce you to the book trade of centuries past. During an atelier, you discover first-hand what makes printing, etching, or bookbinding a true craft.
Printing Demonstrations
Would you like to know how things worked in the historic Officina Plantiniana printing house? During a printing demonstration, you will learn all about printing with lead type.

For all visitors
For groups, families and schools
How are letters made, and how do you arrange them into sentences? How is the text set on the press, and how is it ultimately printed on paper? One of our master printers will show you how it works.
Would you rather get hands-on yourself? Then we recommend one of our workshops.
