Visit Bowne & Co. for a one-of-a-kind New York experience! This monthly free open house will feature a breadth of printing equipment that you will be invited to use. You’ll get to see how the designers at Bowne & Co. lock up limited edition designs that will showcase some of the more eccentric parts from the Seaport Museum’s printing and graphic arts collection. Established in 1775, this letterpress print shop is the city’s oldest operating business under the same name. Today, the shop continues the age-old tradition of job (or small batch) printing. 

Advanced registration is required. Anyone ages 12 and up is welcome. Sign up today to get a taste of New York history and get your hands dirty pulling prints. All participants even get to take home the prints they make during the evening.
