National Print Museum

A history of Irish newspapers

Haddington Road
Haddington Road
Dublin
+353 1 660 3770

This museum first opened to the public in 1996. The former soldiers' chapel houses a collection of artefacts from all sectors of the printing industry in Ireland, many of which are still in full working order. Exhibits include a Linotype machine and a Wharfedale printing press, as well as a collection of newspaper pages illustrating styles of Irish typography and recalling historic events. This museum may not be to everyone's taste, but is well worth a visit if you share an interest in the media.
