Museum/Exhibition
Internationales Zeitungsmuseum Aachen – Media history in the heart of the Old Town
The large building on Pontstraße opens up a world in which the history of news comes to life. The exhibition takes you from early printed sheets to the present day and shows how the media is changing and how news shapes our view of the world. The historic building has its own character, which makes the tour special. Multimedia stations provide insights into the art of reporting and how information is created and has an impact. Visitors can experience the development of the press as a reflection of social change.
