Printing Museum

The Museum of Printing was originally opened in 1984 as a museum dedicated to Lenin and the Pravda newspaper, which was printed in this building.  In 1991 its remit was widened to include printing in general.  It now has permanent exhibitions on publishers and typography in the beginning of the 20th century and on the history of printing in St Petersburg in the 18th century.  It also has exhibits on the tenement house where the museum is located and on the musical salons which were held there.  Today the museum is run as a branch of the History of St Petersburg State Museum.
