Gutenberg Museum

In one of the world's oldest museum dedicated to books, printing and writing, you will enter the high-security vault and get a close-up view of the Gutenberg Bible printed around 1450 in Mainz. Understand the impact of this masterpiece by the "Man of the Millennium". Another highlight is the live printing demonstration; sit down for 15 minutes and see how letters were cast and how pages were printed nearly 600 years ago by Johannes Gutenberg in his local workshop. See beautiful historic printing presses and learn about the many different aspects of the first generation of printed books.

Must SEE and PERFECT GUIDE

Published on Jul, 2022

What amazing experience! Judith was phenomenal. I would see the Gutenberg Museum NO OTHER way than with a tour guide. You really better appreciate the historical significance. And KID FRIENDLY, we have a 9, 5, and 2 year old and they catered the tour to our family, including a live demo of the printing press and letting the kids participate and get a souvenir parchment! Such an amazing family experience.

Gutenberg Tour

Published on Oct, 2021

We had a wonderful guided tour by Judith König. She is very knowledgeable and she answered all our questions in perfect English. All our students said that the demonstration in de Gutenberg workshop was the highlight of our trip.

Local guide - great extra value!

Published on Dec, 2020

We have used Judith for several of our groups from Norway. Great and knowledgeable local guide, with fantastic communication skills. Highly recommended!

A fun and fact filled tour which was delightful

Published on Sep, 2020

Our Guide Judith was a wonderful guide and was clearly an expert in the history of the region and also of the of the Gutenberg Museum. We were a group of 4 and the personalized approach and story telling was a delight. Judith was one of the best tour guides I have experienced.

The Gutenberg Museum is a must-see

Published on Sep, 2020

I've had the pleasure of taking American college students to the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz a number of times over the past 15 years. I see something new every time I return. Being exposed to some of the rarest items in the known world - including Gutenberg Bibles - is worth the price of admission. But there's so much more, including printing presses dating back years, priceless scrolls from Asia, and artifacts from other parts of the globe. The demonstration on a replica of Gutenberg's 15th Century press is terrific, and members of our tour group get to participate. I even got a crack at pulling the handle to create a one of a kind printed page. A highlight of these educational visits is the hands on workshop next door. We donned our aprons, dipped our rollers in ink, and made multicolored keepsakes in the working print shop. Our bilingual tour guide Judith is deeply steeped in history and practical knowledge about printing methods. The Gutenberg Museum should be a destination for any traveler.
