Since I started teaching in the US I have been asked what type related places students can visit when travelling Europe. This is the start of a list of venues. Please use the commenting function to add to these suggestions.
-
St. Bride Library

Museum Plantin-Moretus
Located in Antwerp (Belgium) this museum gives a perfect image of how people lived and worked as the compound contained living quarters, type foundry, print shop and book store. All in original the state. You just walk though that building as if the workers were just hiding somewhere. -
Nijhof & Lee
This charming little bookstore – specialized in new and antiquarian books in the fields of art, architecture, design and photography – is a treasure chest in the heart of Amsterdam with an extremely comprehensive collection of type books. -
The Gutenberg Museum Mainz
I haven't actually visited this museum myself but I hear awesome reports. - Klingspormuseum Offenbach
-
Basel Paper Mill, Museum for Paper, Writing and Printing
Erasmus of Rotterdam and Voltaire moved to Basel to have their writing printed here. This is the old type and print shop. They still produce using the original techniques and materials. Make sure to schedule your visit to the museum/workshop when a presentation is taking place.
