Postmuseum — Attraction in Stockholm

I live close by and the post museum was a pleasant surprise for my family's two little monsters. They have a floor dedicated to small kids, where they can play, draw, craft and send letters straight from the arts and crafts room. That's not to say that the other floors aren't kids friendly though. They are and we always have a good time there. Sure, there is an entire room with the history of stamps if you are into that, but most of the floors are interactive exhibits on the history of the swedish postal office. It's interesting for adults while being fun for kids. An afternoon is all that's needed but it's worth the trip...

Quite interesting for people who are into philately with the right amount of postal history added. Fun sections are present for kids too and temporary exhibitions come up on interesting related topics. It is also a great place for younger people to learn about the incredible network behind the older "snailmail" and newer online orders. For stamp collectors, there is an extensive stamp library on all Swedish stamps and a cute museum shop to get collector's tools/stockbooks as well as stamps/subscriptions. Overall, a place that preserves valuable information about an era that revolutionised...

I saw the beautiful uniforms in the different epochs; it was all so engaging and emotional I immediately thought of the stories of my father, a retired postman, and my grandfather's life, a postman too. One of those who headed the museum told me about the building where once the old post office was. Thanks to him and to all those who work to make this museum truly...
