Simply wonderful! Spend at least an hour and a half here if you can!
Guide John was enthusiastic and knowledgable… could answer any and all questions, which is rare. It’s really interactive!
Free admission for self guide; Guided Tour €5 concession, €6 full price
Also delightful lunch/coffee/Tea place attached—everything very fresh and homemade.
I will go again when next I’m in Dublin

One of the most interesting Museums
Jacinta greeted me at the desk and showed me around the historical print machines, offering amazing insight. You will see a replica of the first printing press and hear how the print industry has impacted everyday language with common saying like 'Mind your Ps and Qs', 'make a good impression', 'dab hand' and 'out of sorts' etc. It's about 30 mins walk from Temple bar, but well worth it.

Hands on printing experience.
Very friendly and knowledgeable guide. We had the opportunity to create a type set poster to keep. Many examples of printing presses. There was an upstairs gallery of art posters.

Fantastic family tour at the National Print Museum
We joined the family tour at the National Print Museum and it was truly fantastic. There are simply no words to describe how outstanding our guide was — fun, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, all while keeping everything perfectly accessible for children.
The tour was ideal for younger visitors because it alternated short educational moments with hands‑on activities, including printing a personalised poster with each child’s name. This balance made the experience genuinely enjoyable even for the little ones.
The museum itself is small, but full of fascinating details and hidden gems, and it absolutely deserves a visit. Although we didn’t try it ourselves, we noticed a very charming little café on site.

Fantastic visit to delightful museum
I had a wonderful visit to the National Print Museum with my teenage daughter. The guide, Ann, was friendly and full of information. We got to try our hand at printing and using the perforating machine. Addictive. Unfortunately we didn't have time to sample the cafe, but picked up some lovely, unusual presents in the gift shop. A hidden gem in Dublin. Recommend booking the guided tour.

Fascinating tour!
The guided tour was really informative and enjoyable, highly recommend! Our tour guide, Ciarán, was very entertaining and knowledgeable. My favourite part was hearing how many common phrases originated from printing (like ‘mind your p’s and q’s’) and getting to use a printing press myself. Also the cafe was lovely!

National Print Museum--worth a visit
The staff make this a terrific exhibition. The lady who showed us around explained the various machines used in the printing business--very informative. Upstairs there are many colorful posters from various plays staged in Dublin's theaters.
