Meinungen MUSÉE PLANTIN-MORETUS Antwerpen

I enjoyed visiting here. The museum has some very interesting exhibits. The audio guides are good and free. I did arrive first thing and it seemed that they weren't quite ready. I think it could be improved by having more interaction with museum staff. So if you have an interest in printing history you will find this very informative.

It's worth seeing museum in Antwerp. They provide a guide to every tourist (many languages available) and the museum exhibition is quite informative and intriguing. Definitely I'll return here.

This place was amazing! Loved the libraries and all the Bible’s. Staff was so friendly and helpful, one of the best places we visited on our trip.

Absolut sehenswert!!!! Fur jeden etwas, sehr interessant!!!

Légendaire ! Les bibliothèques sont dignes d’Harry Potter ????

An impressive museum in the center of Antwerp. It is one of the most important gates of the process of bringing information into the service of humanity. Although it seems like a not very large building, do not pass by without reading the small information on the walls and digital panels while trying to visit the museum without getting lost.
Copies of the anatomy atlas and geography atlas, which were printed in the printing house where the roots of fonts such as Times New Roman and Garamond, which are widely used today, emerged, should be reviewed before leaving the museum.
If you can find the room where the printing technique of old times is shown live to the visitors of the museum, it will not be a surprise if they give you a unique copy of the poem printed as a sample. If the text they use in printing has not changed yet, the poem is a very cheerful text. If I remember correctly, he was explaining the secret of happiness for a man. So it's not a very long poem.
If you are curious about printing, you can buy black aprons with the words “Labore et Constantia” written on them, worn by the printers in the museum, from the souvenir shop at the exit.
Be sure to take time to visit.

Sweet museum, where u can try to emboss a page and take it

Bijzonder boeiend om meer over deze familie en de boekdrukkunst te weten te komen. Zeker een aanrader in Antwerpen

Must visit in antwerpen. Lots of history, good audio guide, wish there was a more systematic approach to the history like a general history of the family and then more detail into each room as you go around and more about the printing presses themselves, but they show how they worked and the printers know a lot

Vergeet zeker niet de drukdemo te gaan bekijken in zaal 7 .
