We are in the Ville for a few days. So today was a perfect time to visit…read more So much more than we expected. The Survivor Gutenberg bibles in a bank safe. With a watcher. Floor after floor of printed rare books, Hand scribed bibles , tiny -tiny books and every imaginable printing press. A small furnace model with a mold and bronze casting as a example of how individual letters could be cast and finished. A engraving machine to make plates for bond certificates. Similar to money certificates. And a movie theater explaining the history of the man. Birth to death. Really great 3 hours. Nice little Art shop at the end.

The cafe, however, redeemed the experience-especially the kind lady working there and their cute photo corner. Honestly, she should be running the place.
