Thoroughly enjoyed my night at the museum. Slinking around the aquarium, drink in hand while the dj spins trippy tunes is otherworldly. Great collection in the tanks (sea dragons!?!). Earthquake show was intense for sure. Stargazing on the roof was sublime. Will gladly return once this bicoastal thing works out for me.
I highly recommend the guided tour which is done by passionate which will guide you through the book history, from antiquity through the industrial revolution.
A fantastic little step back in time. Worth stopping in for a tour.
This is a fantastically interesting jewel. It is truly astounding to walk in a place like this and find one of the most important parts of our culture which is the preservation of knowledge. It is truly eye opening to witness the detail of work in culture.
Showcasing some of the history of American bookbinding techniques and equipment, this museum is a fascinating place to visit. When I walked in for the first time, I had simply no idea how intricate and laborious the process of book binding used to be; I know recognize it for the unbelievable artistry that it was. The staff is warm, welcoming, and friendly, and truly go the extra mile to make tours through here entertaining and informative. If you have an interest in history, books, machinery, or even just half an hour to spend, I highly recommend a stop at The American Bookbinders Museum.
Beautiful space for the modern elder academy invitational lecture
Informational albeit simple and small setting
Great place with a ton of educational value. All of the classic machinery is a cool thing to see!
Sweet. Saw a sci-fi author event, they got some dope printing presses too.
Great tour of a little realized history.
An amazing treasure here in our Emerald City!
Great collection, great docents. The museum really showcases the beginnings of the collection of knowledge in our society.
Very informative tour of museum and the history of bookbinding. Renovations are planned in the months to come. It will be great to see the new look. Anyone looking for an opportunity to learn and volunteer, this would be a good place to check out.
Cool spot and a nice bit of history
Great tour and learned a lot. Super friendly stuff and not very crowded.
Went for a work outing and our docent was fantastic. Its a beautiful space, and they even have a little shop.
Fantastically detailed and knowledgeable guide.
