In a nutshell, telling the story from Gutenberg's printing press to the 1970's is what this amazing eco-museum is all about. Contrary to other museums of this type, this one is completely functional and takes the visitor from the manufacturing of paper through to the final binding, including all the stages of composition, manufacturing and printing. Here you can find a remarkable collection of machines but also a reconstituted workshop for manufacturing rag paper, a book-binding and intaglio printing workshop.
