Drupa 2024 is coming soon. But long before Drupa, there was BuGra (Weltaustellung für BUchgewerbe und GRAfik). The first BuGra, in Leipzig, opened May 6, 1914. Notable for WWI, it was the launching pad for the iconic Heidelberg T Platen. #printinghistory #printingmuseum

The restored 1890 S.K. White takes its place in the museum & joins its peers today. Another piece of printing history was preserved for the future. What a wonderful end to a highly productive year at the Restoration shop. See you in 2024! #printinghistory #printingmuseum
We had a wonderful time welcoming the folks from Ivan Franco Homes to the museum for a group tour earlier this week. Great conversation, lots of questions, and overall fun. Thank you for the visit.
