A very fascinating Museum about the Postal History of Liechtenstein !! Meant for Philatelists
I went with my family to Liechtenstein for a day trip. I really wanted to go there for a long time especially to the Postal Museum. And so I’ve managed to go. The Museum is not far from the bus station, the building is centrally located. The building is not only the postal museum but has all an Art exhibition space. It doesn’t cost anything to visit the museum (free admission). The exhibition on one floor and is very interesting for philatelists. At the entrance is the museum shop you can buy yearly stamp collections starting from 1940 but the price can be high. You can even buy rare stamps that cost about 1800 or even higher. There are other Philatelic items like FDC,Year Album etc. The exhibition started with the model of the post carriage showing the route it taken and different lights plus trumpets. Next to that you can sit on a stool and check on a big screen all the stamps that Liechtenstein issued, history of the post office, history about stamps and knowledge etc. Afterwards there is a corridor on the one side the different subjects issued by Liechtenstein on the other side there were pull out glass display boards where all the stamps of Liechtenstein and subjects like sport, royal family etc. A other main subject of the museum was space travel of the Russian and Chinese. Mostly FDC signed by the astronauts and a lot of information. To my mind the museum was very interesting and fascinating ,,I loved it!! Worth a trip for philatelist and who are interested in stamps.

Interesting and Free but no displays in English
This Museum is very interesting for a country that is so steeped in postal stamps and history. However, even though it is free it would have been a much better visit if any attempt at providing English to help a large amount of visitors. Still worth a quick stop but not top on our list while in Liechtenstein.
