China National Post and Postage Stamp Museum

China National Post and Postage Stamp Museum, Postal museum at West Gongyuan Street, Beijing, China.

The China National Post and Postage Stamp Museum is a postal museum in Beijing that displays over 300,000 stamps from around the world across multiple galleries. The collection spans postal artifacts from different Chinese dynasties as well as items from international postal systems.

The museum traces the start of modern postal service in China with Large Dragon stamps from 1878, issued during the Qing Dynasty. These early stamps represent China's first steps toward joining an international postal network.

The museum's name links two collections merged in 2007: the China Stamp Museum, founded in July 1985, and the postal section of the former China Posts and Telecommunications Museum. Its parent body, the China Post Cultural and Historical Centre, formed an academic committee in Beijing on 9 December 2011. The centre also publishes the monthly philatelic magazine Jiyou Bolan, whose predecessor Beijing Jiyou appeared in July 1982.

The museum occupies the postal complex at 6 Gongyuanxi Street in Dongcheng District, near Jianguomen. Its exhibition halls cover four floors, with 7,500 square metres of display space and a 6,000 square metre storage area for artefacts. Visitors reach it by subway at Jianguomen Station on Line 1 or Line 2.

The museum is the only national-level specialist institution in China that collects and uses postal and stamp artefacts for research and exchange. It opened at 6 Gongyuanxi Street on 22 August 2007, when the stamp museum was merged with the postal section of the former China Posts and Telecommunications Museum.
