Druckmuseum/Haus für Industriekultur, Printing museum in Darmstadt, Germany.

The Druckmuseum occupies a four-story Art Nouveau building with decorative concrete panels and clinker brick facade at Kirschenallee 88 in Darmstadt.

The building, constructed in 1905 by architect Karl Klee for court furniture manufacturer Ludwig Alter, later served as an Opel spare parts warehouse from 1939.

The museum preserves printing heritage through functional workshops for type foundry, hand typesetting, machine typesetting, book printing, bookbinding, lithography, and copperplate engraving.

The facility operates as a branch of the Hessian State Museum Darmstadt, maintaining an extensive collection of printing machinery and over one million matrix types.

The third floor houses Germany's last remaining type foundry, where visitors can observe the complete letter casting process using historical equipment.
