Great selection of old printing presses in a small area as part of a self guided tour and videos you can play to show the machines in action. Great insights from Ciaran who explained the systems and where some expressions may come from and why like "hot off the press"! Lovely cafe downstairs and small shop. Well worth a visit solo or with a group or family.

I had a day to myself on my trip to Dublin so i looked at to museums around me and planned a whole day of museum hopping. This was the first and absolutely the best. I really felt how passionate they were about the machines, and I left with a greater appreciation for the work put into their use. This place is one of the truly hidden gems of Dublin and it deserves more attention!

The guided tour was wonderful – I arrived knowing almost nothing about printing, but found the whole experience fascinating. It's a small museum, but the tour makes each item in it come to life; you're shown how to use some of the machinery to print your own posters, which is very fun. And I loved learning how many ordinary phrases have their origins in the world of printing. Plus, the cafe is lovely. I'd recommend this to anyone visiting Dublin.

An amazing tour through printing history - from Gutenberg times to nowadays. We got a guided tour with Liam, who is such a great storyteller and has a wealth of knowledge in printing and Irish history. After the tour, I won't be looking at the Irish Proclamation of Independence with the same eyes ever again. Totally worth visiting! Thanks Liam.

Today eleven of our members travelled to Beggars Bush Barracks to the National print Museum for our Monthly tour. Our host and guide Liam a historian was excellent and passionate on the history of Print. He gave us an extensive insight into printing throughout the ages. He also demonstrated the way some of the many machines in the museum worked . I can highly recommend a visit to this museum. There is a lovely coffee shop on site as well.

Def try to make it to the once a month demonstration. The folks there really know how to explain the complexities of the machines and the trade they work in. But even if that’s not an option, the videos and and other media do just as good a job. It’s absolutely worth the trip over.

We visited the Print Museum recently and were charmed and blown away by it. The print machines are only the start of it....our guide Liam brought it all to life by explaining the machines and processes in the context of everyday life and social history. I'm definitely going back, as there's just so much to see. It made me want to find out more about the history of print. And I must also mention the wonderful cafe - great food.

Excellent experience! Went to see the temporary stamps exhibition (free and very interesting) and decided to book the guided tour of this little museum(small charge for the tour).It was brilliant! We had an excellent guide, Liam, whose passion for printing and knowledge of the museum collection really made it so interesting and enjoyable.If you are into Irish history, there is one of the original 1916 proclamations there and you can hear about how it was printed.The tour includes a hands on printing experience too.Even if you think you are not that interested in printing you would be surprised how interesting this subject can be with an informative and talented guide.Highly recommended.There is also a cafe on site with a great range of delicious freshly made foods.

I visited the Print Museum last August during Heritage Week. Our tour guide Ciaran was very funny and we enjoyed learning about the idioms related to printing. There’s also a nice cafe for tea and cakes!

Excellent location with wonderful original print museum and helpful staff. The guided tour is a must. The stamp exhibition was also on view during my visit which added to the visit Brian Warren - Dublin
