Guided Tours
During our guided tours, visitors participate in the hands-on printing of a leaf of the Gutenberg Bible pulled from a replica press, then move to the printing of the Declaration of Independence on a 19th-century Columbian iron handpress. Tours conclude in our 65 seat theater for a viewing of the film Harvest of Wisdom.
For a guided tour, the fee is $4 for adults and $2 for students and seniors. Call 713-522-4652, ext. 203 to schedule your guided tour.
Teachers:
Our tours complement a wide range of study, from science and technology to English language arts, from history to fine arts. In order for you and your pupils to gain the most from your visit to the Museum of Printing History, a package of information is available to provide you with everything you need to support the new ideas presented during the tour. We look forward to your visit!
The information package is available as a PDF document.
