ENTRANCE HALL

In 1987, Ricardo J. Vincent founded the National Print Museum of Spain in order to illustrate the visitor about the evolution of printing and books from Gutenberg to the present; from the manuscript codex to more modern printings, through the incunabula and rare books. It is located at the Royal Monastery of El Puig de Santa Maria, in the town of El Puig (Valencia, Spain), and was donated to the Valencia in 2000.

As Ricardo J. Vicent likes to say: "José Huguet Chanzá, with his "Huguet file", Gonzalo Sales, of Farinetti, and Vicent García Editores were the key for the foundation of the Museo Nacional de Imprenta de España (National Print Museum of Spain)".
