Korea Stamp Museum, Postal museum in Central District, Pyongyang, North Korea.
The Korea Stamp Museum is a three-story building in central Pyongyang housing more than 6,000 postal items such as stamps, envelopes, and postcards from different eras. The collections span materials that document historical communication and postal development.
The Korea Stamp Museum opened on April 9, 2012, upgraded from an exhibition hall of the Korea Stamp Corporation to mark the centennial of Kim Il Sung's birth. It closed for expansion in 2018 and reopened on February 11, 2019.
The collections here showcase postal items that reflect achievements, international ties, and natural heritage of the nation. You can see how commemorative stamps and postal artifacts tell stories about the country's values and connections.
The building is centrally situated between major city landmarks and is accessible from main thoroughfares. A souvenir shop and exhibition halls on different floors allow visitors to browse at their own pace.
The building's exterior is designed to resemble a giant postage stamp, creating an unusual architectural statement. A bronze statue depicts a dove carrying a postcard while flying above the Earth.
