Regarding the museum of printing and graphic communication:
Founded in 1964 by the Lyon-based master printer Maurice Audin, the Museum of Printing has become, in fifty years, an indispensable partner for the graphic world, both thanks to the richness of its collections and its remarkable temporary exhibitions and numerous international collaborations. The anniversary of the establishment was therefore an opportunity to rejuvenate its museum presentation by reserving a large space for the one hundred and fifty years of graphic creation in France and abroad.
