This is so interesting and exciting for me. Wish to learn more about the old machine and the process of printing then.

A place to walk, a place to sit, a place to snap – and a place to enjoy.

very interesting.
Did you know, in the 1960′ies I worked for a Trade Magazine,
and the technology our Printhouse then used was, yes, the same as Guthenberg, for Titles and ingresses.
Maschines were only used for typing text – and you know what they used: Lead.
Many Typographics died from Cancer – they did not know how lead damp poisend their workrooms.
And when the Printhouses introduced new technology, they went on strike. To preserve the old, life endangering technology.
Sad to think about these Days.
After all Gutenbergs inventions have without doubt have had a tremendous impact the modern societes.

I think you should invite us to this Museum in early December;-))

First of all, thank you for your comment on my blog. The Filipinos are grateful for the generosity of the Norwegians. God bless.

That’s a lovely building. The press museum is interesting. It’s nice to see old machines kept in good condition. I wonder if they still work.

The garden looks like a cozy place.
