Experience the history of printing, writing, and books in the Gutenberg-Museum. The Museum was founded by a group of Mainz citizens in 1900 and dedicated to Johannes Gutenberg, today's “Man of the millennium”, and his inventions.
A new building is currently being constructed for the museum. The new interim exhibition ‘Gutenberg Museum MOVED’ was therefore opened on the premises of the Natural History Museum at the end of November 2024. The exhibition spans a total of three levels, including the nave of the former convent of the Poor Clares, the oratory and the former taxidermy rooms of the Natural History Museum. The new permanent exhibition offers visitors a new way of experiencing media and understanding their history.
