History - Parachute® on Friday, January 16th, 2009

Did you ever wonder what happens to all these signs we see around our cities, after they are taken down? Well, there you have it! The Buchstabenmuseum (German for Museum of Letters) started rescuing typographic icons of our time since May 2005 and created a collection of interesting typographic objects and letters from all over Berlin and beyond. If it happens to be in Berlin pay a visit to the museum (by appointment only).

  1. Nice concept! I’m sure the lettering will only become more interesting over time! What about an archive of three dimensional urban Greek type? :)

  2. What a wonderful find!
