About this experience
The National Print Museum is a museum in Dublin dedicated to the history of printing, tracing the craft from Johannes Gutenberg's invention of moveable type in 1439 through to the modern era. Located off Haddington Road, it holds a working collection of historic presses, compositing equipment, and printed artefacts, including one of Ireland's most significant documents, the 1916 Proclamation of Independence. The entry ticket includes a live guided tour lasting approximately one hour, making it a structured visit rather than a self-guided browse. During the tour, a guide walks visitors through the development of print technology, explaining how each press worked and the role printing played in shaping Irish and world history. Visitors also take part in a hands-on activity: setting their own name in moveable type and pressing a poster to take home. Wheelchair access is available throughout. Tickets cover entry, the live guide, and the practical printing activity, with cancellation accepted before the start of your chosen timeslot. For more things to do in Dublin, the city offers a wide range of cultural and historical attractions within easy reach.
