But his uniqueness lies not only in the presence of a large number of exhibits, but also versatile in looking at the role of the press in the life of mankind.

For example, there is a hall, which contains photos, fake events.
The Museum has several rooms, one of which covered the history of publishing, in another, the visitor can feel in the role of the person attacking the paparazzi, in the third - to feel like a star, which aims flash built into the walls of the cells. Especially interesting is the hall of chaos, made in the form of eggs. On the visitor sent a powerful stream of video information, not only clarifying any facts, and obfuscating it.
The Museum was opened in 1931 and the Foundation of his collection consisted of the collection of Newspapers Oscar von Falkenbach (famous German collector of the 19th century), who devoted his life to picking up this collection. After his death the widow bequeathed about 80 000 copies.
