 A demonstration of Gutenberg's original printing press, in the Gutenberg Museum |
The year 2000 marked the 600th anniversary of the birth of Gutenberg, inventor of the printing press (as generations of schoolkids will testify, history has yet to judge whether he should be praised or cursed for this innovation). The anniversary was commemorated by extensions to the Gutenberg Museum in the ancient German city of Mainz, where Gutenberg lived and worked.
