The nearby Gutenberg Museum, commemorates Mainz’s most famous son–Johannes Gensfleisch zu Gutenberg, who invented the moveable type press around 1440. The display includes two Gutenberg bibles as well as other books and scriptures of the past two millennia. Several presses and other equipment used in printing are on display, along with explanations of different papers and processes. Live demonstrations are frequently held in the basement.
A short film with amateurish marionettes gives an introduction to Gutenberg’s work and life, of which little is known. All descriptions in the museum are in German only–English audio guides are available. The museum shop is small but has a wide variety of trinkets in addition to lots of books.
