Description

As the only museum of its kind in North America, the space demystifies physical book construction through an approachable, tactile setup. Exhibits encourage visitors to touch tools, inspect vintage machinery, and even try sewing signatures into place. Displays trace production from early paper to modern mechanized techniques, supported by self-guided and audio tours alongside rotating special exhibits.
