Launch of the Museum in a Typecase

Join us as we cut the tiniest of ribbons to celebrate York's smallest museum (probably)! Our diminutive 'Museum in a Typecase' tells the story of letterpress and type manufacture in a tray measuring just 82.5 x 37 x 5cm. Attendees will hear from our Director, Helen Smith, and researcher, Josh Povall, about the inspiration for the museum, the ideas behind it, and some of the fun facts we discovered along the way. You will have the chance to 'visit' and explore the museum, and to enjoy our accompanying letterpress pamphlet, A (Very) Short History of Printing. Tickets are free and include a drink on arrival. Address: Peasholme Green, York Y01 7PW what3words ///fever.power.giving Our studio is in a former schoolhouse, nestled in the tranquil garden of St Anthony's Hall and overlooked by the city walls. York railway station is within a 20-minute walk and the Peasholme Green bus stops are located just outside the entrance to the garden. Q-Park Shambles is nearby.
