The best museums Grevenmacher

Taking place in the Kulturhuef Museum, the permanent exhibition Gutenberg Revisited retraces the technological evolution of printing in Luxembourg, particularly between 1850 and 1950. To be seen among many other things: toggle presses, steam-operated letterpresses, cardboard cutters and cutters for bookbinding or platen presses. This is a whole world that disappeared with the advent of offset printing.

Jean Dieudonné, founder of a dynasty of cartiers in the region, was born around 1720 near Thionville. The Musée du Jeu de cartes reconstructs his workshop from the early 19th century, with the press as it was then working, as well as the stencils, clichés and other tools used to make the cards. It gives a precise view of the printing techniques of the time, explained in more detail by the interactive terminals.
