Museum of printing, Print history museum in Halabyan Street, Yerevan, Armenia

The Museum of Printing is a collection dedicated to the history of printing techniques located on Halabyan Street in Yerevan. The building spreads across several rooms containing old machinery, handcrafted tools, and examples of different printing methods from various periods.

The Museum of Printing opened on 25 September 2017 in the building of the National Library of Armenia, which holds the country's largest collection of Armenian printed material. In January 2018 it became a member of the Association of European Printing Museums. Its six halls trace writing from rock carvings and cuneiform to the first Armenian printed book, the Urbatagirk of Venice (1512).

The name reflects Armenia's deep connection to the craft of printing and book production. Visitors can observe how printers worked with their tools and how the profession evolved across different periods.

The building is located in the city center and is easy to reach on foot, especially if you walk through Yerevan's central streets. Visitors should plan to come on weekdays or early afternoons, as these are typically quieter times to explore.

A special hall displays cuneiform tablets and ancient symbols showing how people wrote and communicated long before modern printing was invented. These objects create a connection between the oldest writing techniques and the printing machines that came later.
