Type, paper and presses are the subject of Museumdrukkerij IJzer & Lood in Grootegast. The museum information reports a move and a temporary closure.

A collection for understanding print

The museum website describes historic printing machines, including a Cossar newspaper press. Machines like these are a reason to look afresh at a familiar product: what steps are needed before there is a readable page?

Plans for hands-on activities

Typesetting, bookbinding and hand papermaking are mentioned as planned workshop elements. These are plans for the new programme. After the reopening, check which activities can actually be booked.

Wait for a confirmed date

The reopening date is still unclear. Wait for an explicit announcement before you travel to the new location. At the same time, check which parts of the new programme are already accessible.

Before you go

Temporarily closed due to a move. The exact reopening date is unknown.
