TYPA Printing and Paper Arts Centre

Why it matters: TYPA was founded in 2010 to rescue Estonia’s last letterpress machines from destruction, and it keeps the country’s printing and papermaking heritage alive as a working museum where most of the historic presses still function. Guided tours start on the hour (last one at 17:00) and run from wooden type to hulking printing machines, but the best part is the workshops – bind a notebook with your own cover design, make paper by hand or try cyanotype. Find it at Kastani 48f behind the Samelin shoe factory, steps from Aparaaditehas; entry is free with the Estonian Museum Card. Bonus tip: TYPA also runs the free-entry book space Fahrenheit 451° inside Aparaaditehas at Kastani 42.
