Understand the impact of this masterpiece by the "Man of the Millennium". Another highlight is the live printing demonstration; sit down for 15 minutes and see how letters were cast and how pages were printed nearly 600 years ago by Johannes Gutenberg in his local workshop. See beautiful historic printing presses and learn about the many different aspects of the first generation of printed books.
After the museum, you will visit the places where Johannes Gutenberg worked and lived as well as his birthplace, the church where he was baptised, the remains of his workshop and his burial site.
We will stop at Bertel Thorvaldsen's impressive statue of Johannes Gutenberg standing over the square named after him and learn more about his life and how he worked.

About Mainz
Mainz is a Rhine city and the home town of Gutenberg, with a thousand-year-old red sandstone cathedral, Chagall's blue windows and Rheinhessen wine.
Mainz stands on the west bank of the Rhine where the Main river joins it, the capital of Rhineland-Palatinate. St Martin's Cathedral, begun around 975, rises in red sandstone above the old town's market square. Johannes Gutenberg was born here, and the Gutenberg Museum displays original Bibles from his press, which launched printing with movable type in Europe around 1450.
Top-ranked sights in Mainz: Mainz Cathedral, St. Stephan’s Church (Stephanskirche).
