National Stamp Salon

Here, philatelists and other interested visitors have access to some of the great U.S. collections owned by the National Postal Museum or on loan from other institutions. 275 pullout frames display tens of thousands of stamps and pieces of mail from the National Philatelic Collection along with the Postmaster General’s and Benjamin K. Miller collections. A large case displays medals, handstamps, dies, and other historic artifacts from the National Philatelic Collection.

A touchscreen interactive links visitors to the National Postal Museum’s online research database, Arago, enabling them to easily find more information about the stamps and mail that interest them.
