Buchstaben, Museum of forgotten type

A post by George

Buchstaben Museum

The Buchhstabenmuseum (Museum of Letters, Characters and Typefaces) is dedicated to the preservation and documentation of letters, regardless of culture, language and font systems.

The museum stands to preserve the ever disappearing, quality, crafted letters and signs from our landscape; as a result it is repurposing old media, giving it a new home, recycling it. Furthermore anyone (museum or not) that is trying to raise public awareness of good type and brings interest to typography as a medium I’m backing!

The museum is based in Berlin and currently visits are by appointment only (you need to contact them to arrange a viewing)… If you can’t afford to go (and speak a bit of German) then check out their website Buchstabenmuseum.de
