Event Description:
Experience the National Print Museum come to life as a volunteer panel of retired printers demonstrate our collection in action. From the Linotype composing machine to the Wharfdale printing press to the Shaw Pen Ruling machine, witness the incredibly complex technologies that were used for centuries before our modern digital printers. One of our tour guides will set the scene by telling the story of the printing press and how it developed through the ages, played a role in Irish history, and changed the world as we know it.
