International stamps make up more than half of the National Postal Museum’s collections. At interactive displays flanking a large globe, visitors explore examples of how stamps reflect their countries of origin and connect people, places, and cultures worldwide.
One display showcases some of the most scarce and famous stamps from 24 countries on six continents. Nearby, 50 pullout frames present more than 800 stamps—one from every country that has ever produced stamps, including many countries that no longer exist.
Other pullout frames feature changing displays of stamps from the museum’s international vaults, encouraging visitors to return and sample more of the diversity of these vast collections.
