MELBOURNE MUSEUM OF PRINTING IS APPROVED BY THE A.T.O. AS AN "INCOME TAX EXEMPT CHARITY"

The Melbourne Museum of Printing has the potential to be a world leader in its field. The collection policies that have been followed over the years, and the various programs we offer or intend to offer, certainly make it unique. It will provide valuable insight into the practices, and working lives, of traditional printers.
