Why visit

Liechtenstein’s stamps became internationally recognised far beyond the country’s size, and the Postal Museum explains why they matter as more than collectors’ objects. Displays connect stamp design, printing, communications and national identity, with original artwork and postal material showing how images of landscapes, rulers, art and events were circulated worldwide. The museum is compact and centrally located, making it an effective short indoor stop between the national museum, art museum and government quarter.

What you will see

  • Historic Liechtenstein stamps.
  • Original stamp artwork.
  • Postal equipment and documents.
  • Compact central exhibition.

History

The postal collection developed during the twentieth century as Liechtenstein’s philatelic output gained international attention. Today the museum forms part of the Liechtenstein National Museum organisation and documents both the postal service and the artistic production behind stamp issues.
