Museum of printing

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 was founded in 2012 and marked the 500-year milestone of Armenian printing in the region. Its establishment coincided with UNESCO recognizing Yerevan as World Book Capital that same year.

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.
