In the beginning of October, I decided to take a short break to visit my family in Armenia as well as to visit the Granshan non-latin type conference which this year took place in Yerevan. Upon arrival in sunny Armenia, I've discovered that the Printing Museum in Yerevan just got open and rushed there as soon as I could.
The museum is located in the building of the National Library of Armenia (Teryan street, 72) and the Library had already expressed the idea of establishing this museum back in 2012, when Armenia was celebrating the 500th anniversary of Armenian printing & UNESCO named Yerevan as World Book Capital. But it was finally opened for public just recently, on 25th of September 2017.

Last week, just between Christmas and New Year I briefly visited Copenhagen. Even though it was quite cold and I only stayed there for 2 days I enjoyed every bit of it! Beautiful city, friendly people, tasty smørrebrød, and great museums. I would love to spend more time in Copenhagen, just maybe not in the winter:)
