The museum shows how blueprinting was made, which has been on UNESCO's international list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity since 2018. It also explains how, according to a popular notion that is not shared by linguists, the colloquial expression "to make blue" ("not to do one's work, to stay away from work or school without a valid reason") originated from a presumed inactivity of the blue dyers during the drying process.
