Graphic Arts Museum

In 1964 Tarcisio Higuera, a typographer by profession, founded the Museum of Graphic Arts of the National Printing Office of Colombia to mark the centenary of the first publication of the Official Gazette. When the Printing House moved in 2001, the Museum closed until it reopened in 2010. The Museum shows the evolution of graphic arts in Colombia through its permanent collection made up of printing machines, many of which were used in the Printing House until recently, stamps, tickets and old forms, among other curiosities of the graphic arts trade.
