The Peter Mitterhofer Typewriter Museum in Parcines is a museum of worldwide importance. In 1998, in lasting memory of its most famous “son” Peter Mitterhofer, inventor of the typewriter, and with the help of Kurt Ryba, who donated his valuable typewriter collection “for eternity and as an inalienable and indivisible cultural heritage,” the Municipality of Parcines established a museum.
With more than 2000 exhibited items, of which 400 are in the museum and about 1600 in a dedicated showroom, it offers a broad overview of the history of the typewriter’s development lasting over a century, from its invention by Peter Mitterhofer in 1864 until the 1980s, when the computer definitively ended the era of the typewriter.
