International Printing Museum

💬 What Visitors Say

• 💬Plan ahead and book in advance: Tuesday-Friday visits require reservations, and special programs like Scout Merit Badge Days and Book Arts Patch Days need advance registration. Saturday drop-ins (10 am-4 pm) are available but avoid Scout Events.
• 💡Take advantage of hands-on workshops to fully experience the museum—reviewers consistently praised the interactive printing demonstrations and ability to create your own souvenir cards or posters. These activities make the printing history come alive in a way passive viewing doesn't.
• 🕐Attend special events like the LA Printers Fair or Krazy Kraft Days for an enhanced experience with operating presses, vendors, and demonstrations. Reviewers noted these events bring energy and scale to the museum's core offerings, though they can get crowded.
• 💬Budget 2-3 hours minimum for your visit to enjoy both the docent-led tour of the extensive antique printing machinery collection and time for hands-on activities. Reviewers highlighted the quality of docent explanations about printing evolution.
• 💬Consider membership if visiting multiple times or planning to attend workshops—the museum offers memberships and private workshop options for groups, making repeat visits more economical for families or educational groups.
