Maison de la Typographie

The Maison de la Typographie is located in the center of the village of Haspres, in communal premises (former school) which houses machines from the end of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century. These machines were used to print with lead, notably posters. Typography is a mode of printing using movable type developed by Gutenberg around 1450. We will print with this process for more than 500 years. In this space, you will discover the important collection of characters, the machines and other tools essential to this profession. Finally, you will learn how to compose a text. Open Saturday morning, from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Possibility of other slots by appointment.
