  anything you ever wanted to know about the history of paper making, plus see the full working 13th century paper production. make sure you leave plenty of time to look at all the displays, then head off to the printing and pianoforte museum very special

  The people made a special effort to call another demonstrater in to show us how paper was made. It was first thing in the morning and not rally in the middle of the tourist season.

  I learned so much on the guided tour, not only about the science and art of papermaking, but also about watermarks.

  Much more interesting than I'd imagined it would be, thanks to an incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. There's something for everyone, including children (plenty of hands on stuff), artists and even ecologists. A tour takes about forty-five minutes, and there's never a dull moment.

  Il Museo è tenuto benissimo e le storie raccontate sono molto affascinanti. Anche la parte relativa alla filigrana è stata sorprendente. Posso dire di avere imparato un sacco di bellissime cose che non conoscevo. Questo grazie anche alla gentilissima e appassionata guida. Davvero un luogo da visitare!

  This museum and shop was quite unique. We watched a DVD and had a demonstration of paper making techniques on original machinery, then wandered through the rooms with many wonderful examples of watermarked paper. The shop had some great samples of paper as well.

  "Olim carta undique fudit"... One day the paper reached everywhere ... so states in Latin the cartiglio present in the coat of arms of the city of Fabriano and so it is if his fame has also reached New Zealand, the polar opposite in the world of this small town in the Marches.Thanks so much for visiting and for the appreciation to the museum that celebrates this ancient art of papermaking.

  This museum was 50m away from our B&B. Beautifully presented with an english-speaking guide who showed us old paper-making methods, and old machinery. The history of watermarks was really interesting and the whole complex was an unexpected pleasure.

  Actually I am interested in paper, writing and printing, and this was a fascinating visit. One gets to see how paper was (and is) made, something many of us have a general idea about, but the new information for me was just how the watermarks developed through the history of Fabriano papermaking. Also amazing was watching the skill of the paper maker as he dipped the mould into the vat and drew out just enough material to make a single sheet of paper. There are tours in several languages and the guides (at least ours) are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Fabriano's speciality. Also, while we were waiting for the English tour a staff member suggested we visit the nearby museum of printing which was also very nice and apparently included in your ticket, but you might have to ask about it if you don't read the Italian signs. The printing museum is modest compared with similar ones in Germany and elsewhere, but it shows off the Italian printing presses quite well. All in all well worth a visit.By the way, there is a convenient free car park near by on via Cappucini, just across a small green park from the museum.
