About

The Plantin–Moretus Museum (Plantin-Moretusmuseum) is a museum in Antwerp, Belgium which showcases the history of printing in Antwerp and the prominent role played in that history by the family of printers founded by Christophe Plantin and Jan Moretus in Antwerp in the second half of the 16th century. It is based in a building on the Vrijdagmarkt in Antwerp that served as the residence of the Plantin-Moretus family and the location of the printing company, the Officina Plantina, for four centuries.
