Klingspor Museum
Founded on the collection of Karl Klingspor, whose type foundry shaped early 20th‑century design, the museum today houses more than 80,000 works that trace the evolution of lettering and book production from the late 19th century to the present. Its holdings include masterpieces by influential type designers such as Rudolf Koch, Otto Eckmann, and Peter Behrens, alongside rare fine press editions from workshops like the Doves Press and Cranach Presse. The museum also highlights contemporary artists’ books and experimental typography, ensuring that its exhibitions remain both historical and forward‑looking. Visitors can explore manuscripts, prints, and graphic works that reveal the artistry behind the written word, while temporary exhibitions and events foster dialogue between tradition and innovation. By combining scholarship with creativity, the Klingspor Museum has become a leading center for the study and celebration of international book and script art, making it an essential destination for designers, historians, and anyone fascinated by the power of letters and the beauty of the printed page.
