One of my favorite museums in Europe - the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp

Thinking about moveable type in my last entry made me reminisce about my visit to the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp, Belgium. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the museum is the original residence and workshop of a printing dynasty, and houses some of the world's first printing presses as well as some of the world's oldest books. If you get a chance to visit this fabulous museum, don't miss it! In the meantime, you can peruse some of its exhibitions online.
