Postal Museum, Postal museum in Vaduz, Liechtenstein.
The Postal Museum holds a collection of stamps, postmarks, and documents that trace the history of mail services in this country. The displays arrange these items chronologically to show how communication developed over the decades.
The museum was founded in 1930 and opened to the public in 1936 in Vaduz's new post office building. It moved several times before settling in 1957 in the Englishman Building, constructed in 1920 by an Englishman. In 2006 it became part of the Liechtenstein National Museum, and in 2018 its exhibitions were heavily renovated and digitized.
The stamps and postmarks on display show how people in this region have stayed connected across time. You can see how writing and sending mail has changed through the different eras.
The museum sits in central Vaduz and is easy to reach on foot. The rooms are laid out clearly, and information is presented in multiple languages to help all visitors navigate comfortably.
In May 2011, 25 oversized stamps were set into the pavement of Vaduz's pedestrian zone around the museum, one of them showing Prince Hans-Adam II. The museum also holds stamps drawn for Liechtenstein by Russian artist Ivan Grigorievich Myasoedov between 1938 and 1943.
