Penrith Museum of Printing, Typography museum in Penrith, Australia
The Penrith Museum of Printing displays functioning historical printing machines, including the C4 Intertype and Heidelberg Cylinder press from 1936.
The museum preserves traditional printing techniques dating back to 1450, when Johannes Gutenberg revolutionized communication with movable type printing.
Visitors participate in hands-on typesetting demonstrations, learning the mechanical processes that shaped information distribution before digital technologies.
Located in New South Wales, the museum opens every Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00, offering guided tours and educational workshops for groups.
The collection includes a rare TTS reader-equipped C4 Intertype machine, previously used by the Border Mail newspaper for over three decades.
