 ==History [  edit ] == The original Graphic Museum Groningen came from the Groningen Association for the Preservation of Graphic Machines. This organization made an effort to preserve the equipment and the expertise which threatened to be lost as a result of technical developments in the printing industry in the 50s and 60s of the twentieth century. All kinds of printing machines were to do so here and stored in Groningen and surroundings.
