Playing Card Museum Turnhout

Did you know Turnhout is world-famous among card players? The city has been printing playing cards for almost two centuries, and still does so for the whole world. The Playing Card Museum tells that story in an old card factory, with working printing presses, centuries-old card games and designs that make your eyes sparkle.

It is one of those museums where history becomes tangible: you see, hear and smell how a playing card is made. Children marvel at the machines, adults lose themselves in the collection.

Perfect for a rainy day, and easy to combine with a stroll through the historic heart of Turnhout and the beguinage just around the corner.
