Singapore Philatelic Museum, Philatelic museum in Museum Planning Area, Singapore
The Singapore Philatelic Museum displays an extensive collection of stamps and postal artifacts within a restored colonial building at Coleman Street.
The structure, completed in 1906 as part of the Anglo-Chinese School, transformed into a Methodist Book Room before becoming a philatelic museum in 1995.
The museum presents rotating exhibitions that connect stamps to Singapore's heritage through themes of transportation, communication, and social development.
Visitors can examine every stamp issued by Singapore in dedicated files, purchase collectibles from the museum shop, and participate in educational workshops.
The museum exhibits a German World War II forgery of a British stamp containing an intentional error designed to mock King George VI.
