A world that has been evolving since the times of Gutenberg (1455).

It was a dream that became a reality after the long efforts of the local newspaper “Haniotika Nea” that had the inspiration and the care for the actual realization of this Museum of Typography, a unique project for Crete. The Museum of Typography opened its doors to the public on May 28, 2005.

It is located at the park of local industries in the municipality of Suda, at a space specially designed to host the facilities of the museum. At the museum one can find printing presses and other devices that formed an important part in the development of typography from the late 19th century to our days.

Furthermore, the visitors have the opportunity to look at rare books, dated from 1570, original publications of Cretan newspapers, dated from 1890, as well as vintage printing cliches and types, banknotes, seals and stamps.

This material has been registered and is constantly updated. The aim of the Cretologic Library is, among others, the collection of all kinds of publications (magasines, maps, calendars etc) made concearning Crete, as well as books of Cretan writers.
