Guided Story

Imagine holding a newspaper from 1886, the very year this museum was founded. Look up – those grand chandeliers in the entrance were here when people still read by gaslight. Behind you, at the Grand House of Aachen, you can almost hear the echo of news spreading through the streets. Fascinating, right? This collection is like a time machine, showing how words have changed the world. You'll be surprised to see a 'New York Times' issue announcing the fall of the Berlin Wall. It's like history is whispering its secrets directly to you.
