International Newspaper Museum Aachen – Media History in the Heart of the Old Town

Inside the grand building on Pontstraße, a world unfolds where the history of news comes to life. The exhibition takes you from early printed newspapers to the present day, showing how media has evolved and how news shapes our view of the world. The historic building has a character all its own, which makes the tour truly special. Multimedia stations offer insights into the art of reporting and explore how information is created and how it influences us. Visitors who take the time to explore will experience the evolution of the press as a mirror of societal change.
