Here are some of the events happening at the museum to celebrate their big 10.

This day will be a wood type dream day with demonstrations of wood type being cut on a pantograph, and printers demos.
The museum will also have on display posters donated by designers and printers from acrosss the country to celebrate the anniversary. All the posters are letterpressed. A partial list of printers includes Dennis Ichiyama, Richard Zauft, Nick Sherman, Bill and Jim Moran and many others.
