Guided tour of the permanent exhibition "Signs - Books - Networks: from cuneiform to binary code" Founded in 1884 as the German Museum of the Book Trade in Leipzig and integrated into the German Library in 1950 following the loss of the building and a large part of its holdings due to the war, the German Museum of Books and Writing at the German National Library is considered to be the oldest in the world and one of the most important museums in the field of book culture in terms of the scope and quality of its holdings.
The guided tour will provide you with information about the museum's diverse collections and take you on a tour of the permanent exhibition "Signs - Books - Networks: from cuneiform to binary code". It focuses on three media innovations in human history: writing, letterpress printing with movable type and the digital network world.
