Das Museum ist voller Druckmaschinen aus aller Welt und beherbergt einzigartige Exponate. Wir durften bei der Bedienung einer Setzmaschine für den Zeitungsdruck dabei sein. Die Leute dort arbeiten mit Leib und Seele, es macht ihnen Spaß mit den Besuchern ins Gespräch zu kommen. Ein Besuch für Technik- und Kunstbegeisterte lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Einfach vom Leipziger Hauptbahnhof die Linie 1 Richtung Holbeinstraße nehmen und dort dann ein kurzes Stück laufen. Es finden auch temporäre Ausstellungen dort statt, derzeit z.B. über Steinabriebtechniken aus China.

Excellent museum! Lots of interesting information and many things one can touch and try out! It's amazing to see that these machines are still all functional and that the skills to use them are being taught and passed on to younger generations to keep this knowledge and craft alive. Thank you to everyone at the museum for their dedication and work!

Ich war zwecks eines Ferienkurses dort. Wie die Ausstellung dort ist, weiß ich nicht, da bei Ferienprogrammen das Museum offiziell nicht geöffnet hat.
