A small colonial building situated at Coleman Street is the Singapore Philatelic Museum. The museum is the custodian and curator of Singapore's treasure of philatelic materials. The house collections range from stamps and archival philatelic material of Singapore from the 1830s to present day, and stamps from member countries of the Universal Postal Union.
The permanent galleries introduce the world of philately, the world's first stamp, and how stamps are a window to the world - to explore different topics such as culture, history, science and technology. There are also pop-up exhibition throughout the year. Educational activities are also organised for schools and members ofthe public to discover the history and culture of Singapore and other countries through philately.
Although I do find the gallery space of Singapore Philatelic Museum a bit small, nevertheless, I still find the whole philatelic material real eye-opener or me.
