I've visited the museum twice and it's an absolute gem. They have personal philately collections of collectors displayed here that change from time to time- so there's always something new to see. They also have exhibits of old methods of communication as well as some old postal gear which is very cool to see. The building itself is fascinating as it was the museum, museum road is named after- the original govt. museum that was established in 1865. If you're lucky you will run into philately collectors who will be very happy to talk more about their collection and it's specifics. When you're looking at the collections, try to find the theme because that will add to all the fascination For ex- they pick niche topics like- women warriors across the world in the 1800s or single stringed instruments from across the world. It's perfect for someone who's looking for a quiet morning or afternoon activity. It's also right next to the museum road post office and the evening post office. Here you can purchase a postcard or inland letter and post a letter at the postbox outside as a souvenir from your trip. The ticket is only Rs.25, which is more than worth it for all ages.

Definitely a good place to kids 6-9 years or if you like stamps. I took my kid to show her different modes of communication as it's a part of the syllabus. Divya who is the in charge there is very good at her work and is patient to explain about different things in the museum. She made the trip better and made me give 5 stars. Just museum is 4 stars. Remember to print a MY Stamp - with your own picture on it If you like collecting stamps, the PO next door is where u should pick it up

Nice philately museum with Indian stamps. You will enjoy the visit. Ticket is ₹25. Photography is prohibited 🚫. You can carry your mobile phone but do not click pictures. There is a huge collection of Indian stamps on display. Urge Stamp lovers to come and see this place. There is an evening post office here which is open from 1 pm to 9 pm. Here you can buy Stamps, covers, etc. You can also visit the Philatelic Museum located at Bangalore GPO, Raj Bhavan Rd, Ambedkar Veedhi

I recently visited Shandesh - Museum of Communication, and I must say it was a fascinating experience. The museum offers a unique and insightful journey through the evolution of communication technology.

The exhibits in the museum are well-curated and provide a comprehensive overview of how communication has evolved over the years. From ancient forms of communication like hieroglyphics and smoke signals to modern technologies such as telephones and the internet, the museum beautifully showcases the progress made in the field.

One aspect that impressed me was the interactive nature of the exhibits. Visitors have the opportunity to engage with various communication devices, allowing for a hands-on experience. It was exciting to try out vintage telephones, typewriters, and early mobile phones, gaining a deeper appreciation for the advancements we enjoy today.

The museum also provides detailed information about the inventors and innovators who played a significant role in shaping communication technology. It's a great place for history enthusiasts and anyone interested in understanding how communication has revolutionized human interaction.

The staff at Shandesh - Museum of Communication were friendly and knowledgeable, ready to answer any questions and provide additional insights. The museum itself is well-maintained and offers a comfortable and engaging environment for visitors.

Overall, my visit to Shandesh - Museum of Communication was both educational and enjoyable. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to explore the fascinating world of communication and its...

A must see place to learn about details about changes in communication and great philatelic collection

So the review of the place goes like this, enter looking at the beautiful colorful wall depicting the history of india, world and heritage and postal beauties. You will need to spend time to read this and observe the beautiful stamps accompanying the wall. Some of them are timeless beauties

Next room is communication room with pho, telegraph, uniforms of postal department, cancelation of postal department and so much things to see and admire. Each artifact is numbered so you can read about it on notes Put across the artifact.

You enter the last room and surprise yourself to all those beautiful envelopes, stamp exhibits and amazing cancelled covers. You need to spend real long time if you want to check each stamp and learn about it. And cancelled envelope are. Beautiful too. Do sign the guest book and learn more about it from person on duty. Mr.Madhu Kiran who was there in stamp room tool time explain about things, showed some staMps and also gave couple of envelopes for my young one.

Do spend time and visit this new jewel of Bangalore and more important sandesh timeless...
