The Klingspor brothers (Wilhelm and Karl) were the owners of a typeface company who created a foundry of world-renowed typefaces of their day. The firm's highly artistic typesettings are the basis of the museum’s collection, in addition to a rich collection of literature on the art of book production, the history of letterpress printing, typography and calligraphy, graphic techniques and the art of paper making. The permanent collection is housed in the town’s library, just next to the actual museum, both of which rest in the beautiful Büsing Palace. Domestic or international exhibitions are always on display.
