I literally stumbled upon this little museum completely by chance and because I love books in reading, it felt like something that I had to check out. The museum was free and when I got there, it was completely empty so that didn't help with the ambiance but it made me enjoy the experience because I was by myself. The only issue I had with it is that the two attendees were following me for the entirety of my time at the museum and it became annoying because they wouldn't let me enjoy the experience by myself, and they were insistent on following me and making sure that I'm not doing anything that someone should not do in a museum.

Hidden gem in the city center of Madrid, this small museum tells a history of the book printing, and their very friendly staff is eager to explain the evolution of the printing machines and how they work, so many curiosities were discovered!

Small museum with free admittance. The personnel were very nice. The printing museum can be visited in a short time, and still has an nice collection of printing devices and related arts from lithography to the latest offset and linotypes. I discovered by chance just strolling around and do quite enjoy it.

Several printers divided historically and by technology. Also a video that explains the evolution. Upstairs there was a temporary exhibition about Spanish animation.
