Singapore Philatelic Museum

There are three permanent exhibitions at the Singapore Philatelic Museum, with three dedicated rooms for their display.

Room of Rarities
Found on the second level of the museum, the exhibits here are considered the gems of Singapore philately. One can find a range of stamps and other philatelic items collected from as early as the 1800s to the current day. These exhibits help detail and showcase the postal history of Singapore. The prime exhibit here is the full set of 1854 Indian stamps, used in the Straits Settlements.

Heritage Room
Found on the second level of the museum, the exhibits here trace the history of the various migrant groups who arrived in Singapore during the 19th century. Through this exhibition, one can learn different aspects of these races such as the early traditional trades, cultural celebrations, traditional attire and musial instruments.

Orange Room
Found on the first level of the museum, the exhibits here display the rich history of philately in the world. One can witness the world's first stamp and how, through representations of topics like science, technology, history and culture, stamps have acted as the windows to the world. One can also find stamps made of unusual materials in this room.
