Curiosity Day: Printing Type Tour and Sorting Workshop

TYPA’s Curiosity Day special tour is dedicated to its printing type collection. On 15 November at 11:00, you’ll have the opportunity to explore TYPA’s printing types made from metal, wood, and plastic. We’ll talk about how they are used and preserved at the museum. The highlight of the tour is a demo of a new database: an electronic encyclopedia that will make TYPA’s printing type collection accessible to everyone and bring together a wide range of knowledge about the history of printing in Estonia. We’ll browse the database and try photographing printing types. After the tour, anyone interested can also join a sorting workshop for the printing types.
