The National Press Museum's mission is to inventory and recover the typographical and press heritage of the country, as well as to promote activities of cultural dynamization, in an anthropological, educational and tourist perspective. In this space, the visitor is free to try the traditional methods of printing, both in foundry and in composition. Here, permanent exhibitions take place, such as: "Memórias Vivas da Imprensa", "Typographic miniatures" and "PortoCartoon".
