About this outing

Haarlem has claimed, for five centuries, that it. not Mainz. invented printing. This walk follows the legend to the places it was born, the archives that still hold a 300-year-old printing dynasty, and the neoclassical Oval Room where the Enlightenment put knowledge on display for everyone. Read each stop in the StepQuests app.
