Fellowship Programme

Early printed books in Antwerp

The Plantin-Moretus Museum and the Hendrik Conscience Heritage Library (Antwerp) are pleased to launch a new call for applications for our fellowship programme. We will award two travel grants for research into the history of the early printed book (15th-18th century) in Antwerp, with the gracious support of the Thierry and Frédéric Nottebohm Grant of the Nottebohm Family Foundation.

A new medicine book - Pieter Coudenberg

Coudenberg’s Dispensatorium is translated in France, the Netherlands and Italy and is reissued well into the 17th century. The work will remain a standard until the 19th century.

Leading Ladies: Women’s Business / Businesswomen

tour for adults

For 300 years, women lived, worked, and moved through the printing house of the Plantin-Moretus family — not standing behind the men, but beside them. It’s about time we told their stories!

Audio play brings museum to life

The museum comes to life with an audio play.
