Musée de La Poste, Postal history museum in 15th arrondissement, France.
The Musée de La Poste is a museum dedicated to the history of postal services, spread across three floors connected by an open central space. The collection includes letters, stamps, packages, and objects that show how communication and delivery systems developed over time.
The museum was founded after World War II and moved several times before settling near Montparnasse in the 1970s. Since then it has documented the evolution of postal services reaching back to medieval times.
The postal system shaped how people across France communicated and stayed connected over many centuries, a human story told through letters and packages. What you see here reveals how this ordinary service became woven into the fabric of French life.
The museum is located near the Montparnasse metro station and easy to reach by public transport. Plan enough time to explore the different floors and collections at a relaxed pace.
The museum has a special philatelic corner where visitors can get custom cancellation marks designed specifically for current exhibitions. These stamps serve as small souvenirs tied to what is on display.
