The Gutenberg Shop
25 years of pleasurable purchases and donations
The Gutenberg Shop operated by the Gutenberg Foundation has reliably helped to generate funds for the Gutenberg Museum since 1995. With each item you purchase you’re not only going away with a beautiful present; you’re also sponsoring the Gutenberg Museum.
Approximately 35 volunteers from Mainz work at our shops. Out of pure idealism they give the Gutenberg Museum the most precious commodity they have: their free time.
Unique treasures
The Gutenberg Shop sells around 1,000 exclusive items connected with printing, reading and writing. Many of them have been created especially for us together with printers, designers and artists.
The shop endeavours to revive long-forgotten crafts and techniques, such as papermaking, calligraphy, book illumination and bookbinding. Where possible, Gutenberg Shop products are manufactured using these traditional methods.
