Kamińska Family Printing Museum in Radomsko

The Kamińska Family Printing Museum is a private collection of historical printing machines and printing equipment in Radomsko, operating since 2018. Many exhibits are functional and are operated during visits, allowing visitors to see both the appearance of the old machines and how they work.

What you will see on the exhibition

The exhibition comprises over 30 printing devices, from the oldest bookbinding tools to printing machines from the first half of the twentieth century. Among the exhibits is a sewing machine from the end of the nineteenth century, described as probably the only surviving example of its type in Poland, and a "Man" printing machine from 1911, which despite its age remains functional and is sometimes demonstrated to visitors.

Building of a former prayer house

The museum is housed in a pre-war building on ulica Mickiewicza, which according to press reports served before the war as a Jewish prayer house.

Who runs the museum

The facility is run by the Association for Promoting Knowledge of the Tradition and History of Printing, which opened it on 30 August 2018. The collections come from the collecting passion of the Kamińska family, after whom the museum is named.
