Paper Museum

Extraordinary experience right off the hustle of Amalfi main tourist streets. Just walk another 5 minutes away from the last shops and you'll find this hidden gem. The guide took us on the historical tour of paper manufacturing in Amalfi region with life demonstration of some of the old machinery and hands on experience. The ticket is 7 euro per person and time to spend is about an hour, depending on the tour schedule. Recommend having a guided tour for a better experience.

Took a very easy walk to the mill, which was well worth the visit. The audio guide, accessed by an app, was a fabulous accompaniment to such and interesting museum.

The Amalfi Medieval Paper Museum offers a great guided walk-through of the region’s rich papermaking history. You’ll learn about how handmade paper was produced using cotton and water-powered machinery, some of which still operates today. The museum’s paper has even been said to be used by the Vatican and the Pope, adding to its historical charm. One of the highlights is getting to try your hand at making a sheet of paper yourself, an authentic and hands-on experience.

Do not miss this awesome experience in Amalfi!! Visited on Saturday 17 January and ended up having the place to ourselves. The guide (Elisabetta) was extremely welcoming and gave a wonderful tour in English. The history was fascinating and getting to make the paper was super cool!! Highly recommend checking this out.

Interesting museum about ancient paper producing. Never realized paper originated in China and only reached Europe in the 13th Century.

Worth the walking up the hill to visit this museum. You learn a lot in a little amount of time and you can make your own paper with them! The gift shop also has great gifts for those that love to write whether it’s a journal or post cards!

This is a little gem of a shop you must visit if you are in Amalfi! They will give you a tour of the paper making process of old in their very old shop. Was very interesting, quick tour. They are tucked away up high on the main street, but worth the walk up away from the crowds.

I had no idea this place was in Amalfi. We were simply wandering up through the main street when the small waterfall caught our eye behind the ornate metal gate. We saw the museum sign and decided to stop in - simply walk up the street another 20 m to go in the main entrance. If you are into writing or drawing, this place is a must. It is a 7 Euro entrance fee to head into the original workshop. This is truly an amazing learning experience. You get a chance to see functioning machines and go through the initial paper construction for yourself. It was not on my to-do list in Amalfi, but after going through it, it should be on your yours. Such a unique experience tucked away from the main square. Thanks.

22OCT2025 A small museum all about paper production. You will learn a lot.Take the GUIDED tour to get the most from your visit. €14 for a guided tour for 2

This museum is about a 10 minute walk from the town square. It's nice to get away from the crowds of Amalfi's main drag. It is €7 for a guided tour or €1.50 for a self-guided pamphlet. The guided tour was worth it because the guide showed us the machines in action and provided hands-on experience in paper-making. It's an informative tour for both adults and kids. As a souvenir, the guide will let you take a sample of paper dried from a previous tour group and give you a free museum postcard. I never thought I would enjoy learning about *paper*. I have become one of the characters on The Office.

The tour, at seven euro, was worthwhile. We learned about the history of paper making in Amalfi and we each made a sheet of paper ourselves. I spent a few more euro in the gift shop. The merchandise costs less at a nearby store, but buying here supports the museum. Worth the walk up the hill!

We came here with the kids and had a great time. It is small and the tour experience is 20 minutes, so plan on 30 minutes for this activity. You have to walk all the way to the back of town on the main road, but it was worth it. You begin and end at the gift shop of course, where they have paper items for sale that were made right there at the mill. There is a self guided tour and guided tour option. You must do the guided tour. It is so interactive and you get much more out of it. The first thing we did was make our own paper. You use the actual machinery and make your own sheet. It takes time to dry, so the sheet you make is not the one you get to take home. But they have others just like it that came before you that you can take home. We then watched a lot of the machinery run and you wouldn't get either of these if you did the self guided tour. Our guide was great and had some fun facts to share. Great hands-on activity, especially if you have kids.

Interesting bit of history on the town of Almafi - short tour (in English). I recommend this - and it is also the way to the fantastic Ferriere Valley hike. Just head north on the main road from the center of town for about 10 or 15 minutes and it is on the left hand side.
