| National Philatelic Museum |
|
| Located in Dak Bhawan, Sardar Patel Chowk on
Parliament Street or Sansad Marg, National Philatelic Museum
can aptly be described as a 'philatelist's paradise'. The museum
has an extensive collection of rare stamps of pre and post independence
period. Among its many precious possessions, the museum houses
the first stamp issued in India by the Sindh Dak in the year
1854. |
| A visit to the museum will definitely be interesting
and enriching, as the museum provides a lot of information about
the postal history of India and a good insight into India's
Philatelic Heritage. Apart from having all the Indian stamps
issued so far by the Government of India as well as the princely
states, the museum also has a large collection of foreign stamps,
first day covers & special cancellations on display. There
is also a sale counter outside the museum, which sells stamps
from all over the world. |
