Museo Taller Litografico (Lithographic Workshop Museum), Cadiz

Opened in June 2010, this museum has the second most important Spanish collection, after Barcelona, with more than a thousand lithographed stones. Cádiz was the third city in the country, after Madrid and Barcelona, to have a lithographic printing press thanks to the fact that in 1820 the Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País imported a machine from France.

It has a collection made up of more than a thousand lithographic stones, coming from the quarries of Bavaria. These stones are duly preserved and exposed to the public, among the best-known lithographers from Cádiz were Jorge Wasserman and Nicolaus Müller, both of German origin, who founded several recording and printing businesses in the city in the 19th century AD.
