Description:

The Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum is dedicated to the preservation, study and presentation of postal history and philately. The museum uses exhibitions, educational public programs and research to make this rich history available to scholars, philatelists, collectors and visitors from around the world. Smithsonian Museums and the National Zoo Are Temporarily Closed As a public health precaution due to COVID-19 (coronavirus), all Smithsonian museums in Washington, D.C metropolitan area and New York City, including the National Zoo are temporarily closed to the public. The health and safety of Smithsonian visitors, staff and volunteers is a top priority. We are closely monitoring the coronavirus situation and maintain ongoing communication with local health officials and the Centers for Disease Control. Due to the rapidly changing nature of the situation, we are not announcing a re-opening date at this time and will provide updates on a week-to-week basis on our websites. Follow the Smithsonian on Instagram,  Facebook  and Twitter  for immediate updates @smithsonian. In the meantime, we invite the public to explore the Smithsonian’s online resources by visiting www.si.edu  and museum websites for more information on virtual exhibitions, online collections and educational resources. The National Postal Museum welcomes comments, suggestions or questions during these difficult times. Please email us or reach out to us via Facebook or Twitter. Object Spotlights Learn more about objects in the museum’s collections. From the tiniest stamps to a full-sized bus, the museum is home to a wide variety of fascinating objects. For Researchers The Museum supports a wide variety of research projects. Our efforts are a resource and point of reference for research and wider investigation by historians throughout the United States and the world. Stamp Collecting The Museum celebrates the beauty and lore of stamps. A stamp is much more than the physical evidence that postage has been paid. Stamps can be miniature works of art, treasured keepsakes, and rare collectibles. For Educators The Education Visitor Services Department provides teachers and students with activities. Our programs foster creative thinkers and provide opportunities for developing 21st century skills. Host an Event Host your next historic event at the National Postal Museum. Corporations, associations, organizations and members of the general public have the opportunity to host a reception or dinner at a premier venue adjacent to highly acclaimed exhibitions. Virtual Exhibitions The National Postal Museum’s virtual exhibitions galleries present America’s postal history from Colonial times to the present, through the unique lens of postal history and stamps. Preservation The Preservation Department focuses on the preservation, rehousing, conservation and exhibit preparation of the National Postal Museum’s collection and loan objects.
