Om museet

The Museum für Druckgeschichte und Buchherstellung in Weilerswist is a museum you can touch: it is located in the premises of the publishing printing house Ralf Liebe, and its exhibits are still used for daily book production. The museum therefore deliberately does not see itself as a conventional museum, but as a workshop where work is actually done.

On just under 200 square meters, without display cases, barriers, or information boards, it shows all four printing processes and every work step of book production, according to its own information. The museum also aims to preserve knowledge of traditional techniques that were pushed out by technical progress over the last two centuries. The artistic printing techniques relief printing (Hochdruck), intaglio (Tiefdruck), planographic printing (Flachdruck), and stencil printing (Durchdruck) have been part of the nationwide German register of Intangible Cultural Heritage of the German UNESCO Commission since March 2018.

The museum is run by the Verein Museum für Druckgeschichte und Buchherstellung e.V. Besides guided tours for groups and schools, it offers several-hour workshops on screen printing, intaglio, letterpress, hand typesetting, and bookbinding.
