The Printing Museum

Dedicated to promoting, preserving and sharing print history, communication and art, The Printing Museum is located in the vibrant North Montrose District. Founded in 1979 as The Museum of Printing History by Raoul Beasley, Vernon P. Hearn, Don Piercy and J. V. Burnham—four printers with passions for preserving their vast collections and sharing them with the community—the museum was chartered in 1981 and officially opened in 1982 with Dr. Hans Halaby, Director of the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz, Germany, cutting the ribbon. Rebranded in 2012 as The Printing Museum, it delivers hands-on printing tours, special events, temporary exhibitions and workshops so visitors can experience the impact the printing press has had in the past 500 years.
