The Plantin-Moretus Museum is an authentic home and studio of a famous printing family, Plantijn. After Plantijn's death, the printing business was taken over by his son-in-law Jan Moretus.
Here you can discover the history of books and printing. You will find thousands of books, a practical art collection, and one of the oldest printing presses in the world. The beautiful house is full of tapestries, paintings, and sculptures.
The museum is the first museum ever to be listed as a World Heritage Site because of its exceptionally well-preserved 16th-century printing works. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers you a unique historical experience, taking you back to the golden 16th century of Antwerp.
