📃 201201002496 (976021-P)


The Royal Press is a living polyglot letterpress museum.

Visitors can embark on a tour that will take them through our letter-block library that houses over 150,000 blocks in four different language-types: Roman alphabets, Chinese characters, Arabic and Tamil scripts. Printed memorabilia, from liquor labels to old bus tickets to 1950s Peranakan calendars, tell a timeless narrative of Melaka's history through its forgotten everyday treasures. It is definitely a journey not to be missed.

Marking 16 September with a nod to our history! 🇲🇾

Our staff Amin is setting up a special piece today by using a linoboard featuring a classic stamp design, complete with the iconic Malayan tiger and the year 1963. A perfect tribute to the birth of Malaysia and the craft that keeps our stories alive.

Happy Malaysia Day! ✨
