In 1996 in the three casemates of the Neva Ramparts to the left of the Neva Gate a museum complex was opened including a history exhibition, a gallery displaying graphic works by St. Petersburg artists as well as a workshop featuring old printing techniques.

The old printers displayed there are not just exhibits √ they are working equipment of the workshop.

The visitors to the Pechatnya can see all the stages of creating prints.

Instruments and materials as well as printers in work illustrate various techniques of creating engravings on wood and metal, etchings and lithographs
