Nederlands Steendrukmuseum: an image becomes a print

The Nederlands Steendrukmuseum in Valkenswaard makes lithography, or stone printing, a visible process. Prints and printing presses link the finished image with the technique behind it.

Plan your visit ↗

From stone to paper

Start with the explanation of the printing process before you go past all the images. Which steps make a print possible? The studio houses large lithographic presses; ask which demonstrations or explanations are available during your visit.

Art and everyday images

Advertising posters, book illustrations and postcards show different applications. Compare how the same medium is used for very different purposes. An image that sells something calls for a different reading from a free art print.

Part of the Museumkwartier

A combination ticket can link the visit with the Valkerij en Sigarenmakerij Museum. Check the hours of both institutions separately. The Steendrukmuseum has many public holiday exceptions and is also closed during the Bloemencorso (flower parade), despite the usual Sunday opening.

Before you go

Check public holidays and the parade date; on those days a normal Sunday in the schedule does not guarantee access.
