The museum is fantastic. Even if you think it might be boring to get to know more about the history of printing, it is absolutely not. The technical details, the books in different languages, the maps, the designs of the letters (like 3D versions of MS Word formats) and the life of the business family in their beautiful home. One can easily spend 2-3 hours there. The museum staff was also very kind.

Sehr informatives und schön gestaltetes Museum über das historische Buchdruckgewerbe und die Familie Plantin-Moretus, niedergelassen im Patrizierhaus, der ehemaligen Arbeitsstätte des Familienbetriebs. Viele historische Bücher, Skizzen, Buchdruckmaterialien und Prozesseinblicke in Bleisatz, Buchdruckerei, Buchgewerbe usw. Sehr zu empfehlen, insbesondere bei Interesse für Buchdruck und dessen historischer Entwicklung!

A quirky museum which was a person's home and workplace. If you're interested in the history of printing and how the first European printing presses worked then this museum is the one for you. Well worth the visit.

Ho amato questo posto, per chi è appassionato di stampa del Cinquecento è imperdibile, mi sono emozionata davvero tanto e in una sala è possibile farsi stampare un sonetto francese con il torchio, ho svaligiato lo shop. Consiglio di arrivare entro le 15 per poter vedere il museo con la massima calma, io sono arrivata alle 15:30 e alle 17 ho finito puntualissima la visita anche se mettendomi un po' di fretta

Me encantó conocer este museo, de la época del Renacimiento, fué una experiencia cultural muy gratificante poder apreciar que las dos prensas más antiguas del mundo aún siguen funcionando, se pueden ver también impresiones de los primeros libros y mapas, hay una gran colección de arte y la arquitectura del edificio es muy bonita. No por nada es considerado patrimonio de la humanidad. Volvería a visitarlo.

A great museum to learn about printing, the effects of printing and wonder about the Atlas. Must use the audio system which is free.

I enjoyed visiting here. The museum has some very interesting exhibits. The audio guides are good and free. I did arrive first thing and it seemed that they weren't quite ready. I think it could be improved by having more interaction with museum staff. So if you have an interest in printing history you will find this very informative.

It's worth seeing museum in Antwerp. They provide a guide to every tourist (many languages available) and the museum exhibition is quite informative and intriguing. Definitely I'll return here.

An impressive museum in the center of Antwerp. It is one of the most important gates of the process of bringing information into the service of humanity. Although it seems like a not very large building, do not pass by without reading the small information on the walls and digital panels while trying to visit the museum without getting lost.
Copies of the anatomy atlas and geography atlas, which were printed in the printing house where the roots of fonts such as Times New Roman and Garamond, which are widely used today, emerged, should be reviewed before leaving the museum.
If you can find the room where the printing technique of old times is shown live to the visitors of the museum, it will not be a surprise if they give you a unique copy of the poem printed as a sample. If the text they use in printing has not changed yet, the poem is a very cheerful text. If I remember correctly, he was explaining the secret of happiness for a man. So it's not a very long poem.
If you are curious about printing, you can buy black aprons with the words “Labore et Constantia” written on them, worn by the printers in the museum, from the souvenir shop at the exit.
Be sure to take time to visit.

Must visit in antwerpen. Lots of history, good audio guide, wish there was a more systematic approach to the history like a general history of the family and then more detail into each room as you go around and more about the printing presses themselves, but they show how they worked and the printers know a lot
