Plantin-Moretus Museum

The museum is beautifully conserved, you feel like Plantin could walk in any moment and the place would be buzzing with printing activity. The courtyard is a peaceful place in the heart of the city .

Founded in 1555 by Christoffel Plantijn, this UNESCO world heritage site shows the history of printing from the 15th till the 18th century and owns the world's oldest printing press from around 1600.

Serious type nerds beware: the moulds & punches are at the very top of the building near the end. We only reached them after we'd been around the rest of the museum so couldn't appreciate them as much
