    Maybe I expected too much, but for me, a connoisseur of fiction, this place has no magic. Just a very tight room with lots of shelves with books (on the shelves there is a total mish-mash, no logic in the arrangement) and with a few printing presses thrown in, as if casually. The presence of these presses and fonts is a plus, because children and teenagers may not understand what it was like to put together letters, lines, columns and entire books in the Gutenberg era. The dust level is surprisingly low, which I appreciate as an allergy sufferer. However, I cannot imagine the lectures offered in this very tight space, without chairs (they wouldn't fit anyway)... The price of the classes is amazing - PLN 150. or 300 for a lecture in English. English, and there is a limit for kindergarten, school and student classes to 10 people. Seriously? It is possible that the museum has more than one room, but we did not see them during the Night of Museums on May 22, 2022. Of course, there was a toilet failure... ☠ The historic tenement house is interesting (architecture and history), which houses the Printing Museum, as well as many others on ul. Ząbkowska, Kawęczynska and the entire Szmulowizna (named after the former inhabitants - Jewish traders). It's nice that you can visit the museum once a week for free, but tickets are still relatively cheap. Overall - a disappointment.

    The museum itself is rather tiny but on the select days of the week, you can participate in linocut workshops (included in the ticket price which is just 5 PLN). During the workshop you can design and make your own linocut and receive a print at the end.

    We attended a museum lesson called "Book ABC". The lesson was professionally prepared. Children received various exhibits. They also made their own print on a printing press. The air in the museum is quite dry and during the hour-long classes, all the preschoolers felt thirsty. EDiT: We came back here after a year. Everything just as good as before. The air was normal this time.

    Niestety nie warto specjalnie jechać do tego muzeum. Można zajrzeć zwiedzając Pragę i przechadzając się Ząbkowską bo 2 zł. to nie majątek ale ekspozycja jest bardzo uboga. Jedno pomieszczenie kilka maszyn częściowo pozostawianych krzesełkami . Jest nawet monitor gdzie aż się prosi, żeby był wyświetlany jakiś film o historii drukarstwa ale nic z tego. Może dla grup organizuje się tu jakieś pokazy ale turysta indywidualny raczej czuje się tu osamotniony.

    A very tiny museum and little information about the machines there. Overall, the exhibits are nice and obviously old

  • 2/5 Bartek (. 11 months ago on Google • 263 reviews
    Honestly, it's nothing interesting. That is, if there are workshops and someone shows how a given machine works, maybe it's cool. But if you just want to watch it, it's better to go for free on Thursday, because it's a waste of money for a ticket.

    A museum with great workshop potential, but...not enough space. The gentleman running the classes is super sensitive and helpful, unfortunately even he... won't make the walls made of rubber and accommodate everyone who wants to.

    Pathetic tiny museum with only a few old machines on display there and only the size of a shop

  • 3/5 Piotr S. 4 months ago on Google • 104 reviews
    Maybe not a museum, but simply a printer's and typesetter's room. One room showing the stages of printing and then creating a book.

    A small but very nice museum

  • 3/5 Piotr K. 7 months ago on Google • 27 reviews
    The museum is actually two rooms with a very limited exhibition of printing machines and a typesetting station. This is apparently a fraction of the collection, but this branch has had housing problems for many years. It is complemented by an interesting library with books on printing. Untapped potential, but they are doing what they can.

    I recommend. It's actually a very small area, but the atmosphere is there. I encourage you to join by the way. Not everything has to be monumental. Near the Prague museum, the printing museum is practically a branch or the neon museum, so you can combine the trip. The entry price is symbolic. We attended rhinolite workshops, at the end you receive a matrix and a piece of paper with a print, great not only for children.

  • 5/5 Paweł B. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice ladies, especially with the children. Unfortunately, they will tell you that through the city they will not be able to exhibit more exhibits. Too small accommodation (Original) Bardzo miłe panie, szczególnie wobec dzieci. Pokażą opowiedzą niestety przez miasto nie są wstanie wystawić więcej eksponatów. Zbyt małe lokum

  • 3/5 Nel S. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very small and not very enriching exhibition if one already knows the history of printing. Nevertheless the library is interesting to consult. (Original) Exposition très petite et peu enrichissante si l'on connaît déjà l'histoire de l'imprimerie. Néanmoins la bibliothèque est intéressante à consulter.

  • 1/5 Tomek K. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Basically one room, a few exhibits and the buzzing name of the Warsaw Printing Museum. Not serious (Original) Zasadniczo jedna sala, parę eksponatów i szumna nazwa Muzeum Drukarstwa Warszawskiego. Niepoważne
