In the beginning of October, I decided to take a short break to visit my family in Armenia as well as to visit the Granshan non-latin type conference which this year took place in Yerevan. But, upon arrival in sunny Armenia, I've discovered that the Printing Museum in Yerevan just got open and hurried there in the first place.

The museum is located in the building of the National Library of Armenia (Teryan street, 72) and the Library had already expressed the idea of establishing this museum back in 2012, when Armenia was celebrating the 500th anniversary of Armenian printing & UNESCO named Yerevan as World Book Capital. But it was finally opened for public just recently, on 25th of September 2017.

The six exhibition halls cover the period from pre-printing to modern printing. But only the largest hall introduces the history of printing in Armenia itself.
