Frank opines about museums that once had printing exhibitions and those that have them now, and it's a sad fact that major museums around the world no longer have printing on display. There are now specialized museums that emphasize printing—but they all have the same problems with space and public interest.

If you are passing through Maui, Hawaii, you should take an hour and visit the Hale Pa‘i Printing Museum and Archive Center at the Lahainaluna High School slightly east of the city of Lahaina on Maui's west coast. It is currently closed due to Covid-19, but after it reopens, it is worth a trip if you are on the island.
