Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Singapore Philatelic Museum is located on Coleman Street and opened in 1995. It is a museum that introduces the history and stamps of Singapore Post and is the first modern philatelic museum in Southeast Asia. The building where the museum is located is a century-old double-storey colonial building that was once part of the Anglo-Chinese School. In front of the gate of the Singapore Philatelic Museum, there is a red mailbox left over from the colonial era, which is the symbol of the Singapore Philatelic Museum. The museum collects millions of stamps and hundreds of postal items from 1980 to the present, which can be described as a treasure trove of culture, art and technology. Entering the first floor of the museum, the first thing you need to know is the development history of Singapore stamps, and you can also learn about the changes of mailboxes in different periods; the second floor is the display of stamps, which outlines the historical development process of Singapore stamps through stamps of various eras. You can learn about Singapore's colonial past through the extensive collection of rare stamps and philatelic materials in this museum. The museum showcases everything from the stamp world, from unique contexts and links to important historical moments to stamp designs and important collections. You can even send letters and postcards to family and friends via the specially-operated mailboxes in the museum.

Children’s Museum has this special exhibition - Imagine a Garden, had an interactive experience.
Children’s Museum Singapore has this special exhibition for LKY100 - The Boy Who Became Prime Minister. It was memorable.
This is the earliest museum in Southeast Asia. It is worth a visit. You can learn about Singapore, including the history of the Straits Colonies and East India, and the history of postal development. The museum often changes the theme of the exhibition, and there are plans to visit it every time.
nice place to visit, open to visitors of all ages during the Singapore Night Festival.
During public holidays, philatelic museums are usually free and worth visiting. Recently, there are Snoopy exhibitions in Philatelic museums, as well as monkey-related Philatelic exhibitions, which are worth visiting. The philatelic office is near the city hall. It's not far from the subway station.
Now the communication is developed, basically no use to send letters, but 100 years ago the ancestors used stamp letters, here can be found, before leaving, don't forget to bring some stamps home to treasure, because our next generation should not have the opportunity to use stamps again
