Singapore Philatelic Museum

The Singapore Philatelic Museum features a huge range of postage stamps and other historical items which are on display for the general public to enjoy.

As one of the world’s most collectable items, you can come and view some popular and rare stamps on your next visit to Singapore.

Presented over a number of interactive exhibitions, you will be able to view a large number of stamps which provide a glimpse into Singapore’s history, culture, science and technology. You will also be able to view the world’s first stamp in the Orange Room, as well as the only operational colonial posting box in Singapore. Permanent exhibitions also include the ‘Room of Rarities’ and the ‘Heritage Room’.

The Room of Rarities is dedicated to Singapore’s rich history and has on display some of the largest and finest philatelic items including a set of the four set of stamps which were first introduced in Singapore in 1854. There are also a number of special rotating exhibitions which change throughout the year, so even if you have been to the Singapore Philatelic Museum before, you can always visit time and again.

The museum also has a postage facility where you can purchase personalised stamps and post your mail right here at the museum. The museum also runs a number of educational tours and seminars for groups and school children.
