Sri Lanka Philatelic Bureau — Attraction in Colombo

Uniforms of the postman, how that changed along with the time are displayed at the very beginning. We can see different machines, telephones 📞 , different instruments used in the past to write messages. Also, there is a collection of different stamps and different envelopes in the upstairs. Different seals are also displayed. People who visit that museum can write their thoughts is the given book at the end...

Very friendly staff and they are always there to assist the customers. They are doing a great job not only by selling stamps and other philatelic items on the counter but also sending the standing orders frequently.
