Singapore Philatelic Museum

ABBEY: I was a stamp collector when I was a kid. Got my collection from the letters that we received. Its only small scale though. My father told me that during their time stamp collection is a form of savings. Buy stamps whenever you got spare then once your stamp book is full you can exchange it for cash.

The museum got its open-house at New Year's day. They exhibited articles from Tintin comics.It showcases different post boxes from different years as well as the Singpost's history and memorabilia. Stamps from other countries were also displayed. Whole pad of stamps can be bought in here or you can buy an assorted pack. It located at Coleman Street; 5-min walk from any of Clarke Quay, Bras Basah, or City Hall MRT stations.












WILL:  Its 2012 and whats the best way to celebrate holiday here in Singapore? Go to their museums! This time we went to Philatelic Museum's open house. A house of stamps! Hehe.
       Here we found out history of stamps and what's is function except uses as payment on posts. Here it, illustrates how country uses stamps to magnify the culture and customs.
