Mauritius Postal Museum

The Mauritius Postal Museum occupies a mid-Victorian building near the waterfront, featuring exhibits that document the evolution of postal services on the island.

The structure, completed in 1870 at a cost between £10,000 and £11,000, served as the General Post Office before its transformation into a museum.

The museum displays postal artifacts from three colonial periods: Dutch mail exchange systems, French postal establishment, and British service developments.

Visitors can explore the museum Monday through Friday from 09:30 to 16:30 and Saturday from 09:30 to 15:30, with heritage guide officers available for tours.

The museum contains documentation about the 1847 Mauritius Post Office stamps, among which only 12 red and blue specimens remain in existence worldwide.

Opening Hours: Lundi-Vendredi 09:30-16:30; Samedi 09:30-15:30
