You may think.. Oh boring, a papermaking museum... Well, thats not true!! It really is amazing how much paper has evolved, and how much we take it for granted! Not only do they have the museum but the also offer workshops.. Very neat place!

One of the coolest museums I’ve ever been to! If you’re a writer and a book lover, you have to see this place. I learned a lot about Paper Making from clay tablets to book binding. Entrance is free and it’s so worth the time. It was also easily accessible by bus.

Tiny but filled with interesting objects. Did a very good job showing paper making from all over the world. Free and easily accessible if someone in your group has a disability or you have children in a stroller. We went when school was out I would imagine it be very hard to find parking in session.

Great experience, we took our time (~2.5 hours) to read almost everything in the museum. Thankfully we were told from the start that they are open till 6 pm Mon-Fri despite the official closing time of 5. We were getting ready to wrap it up by 6 when the nicest security guard told us that we can take as long as we needed, so we were finally done around 6:30. Thanks for an awesome experience! BTW, we found free parking on Hemphill Ave.

The exhibit is absolutely breathtaking. Didn’t expect I’d be so thrilled going to a paper museum. It is a short exhibit though.

Focuses on papermaking in the US specifically, but also includes exhibits on the invention and spread of papermaking in the world. Also some exhibits on other methods of making writing material (papyrus, tree bark, parchment, clay, etc.)

I took some students for a summer program. I admit when you take children to a paper museum you already think this is going to be pretty boring but being optimistic I thought since its a paper museum theres got to be something theyre going to do to make this exciting. I was wrong. It was very lackluster. The staff was nice. That place was clean but we only saw two sections that we got to see. The paper making section was only fun part for us (the teachers). My only qualm is that it must be more exciting for students.

What a wonderful free museum right in the Heart of the City! We learned so much about the paper making process, and saw the equipment and people who are very dedicated to keeping the craft of paper making (by hand) alive. Free admission, just pay a liitlr bit for parking.

This is a great museum that not very many people know about. Be sure to go inside to the reception desk and ask for a parking pass.

The paper making museum is pretty interesting but the building is primarily used for research. Quiet place to study though!

Informative museum, geared for adults. Children would probably be mindlessly bored. Good to kill 45 mins. Free admission, donations discreetly accepted.
