Postmuseum, Postal and working life museum in Gamla stan, Stockholm, Sweden.

The museum occupies a central position in an 18th-century building within Stockholm's Old Town, displaying postal artifacts, letters, and stamp collections.

In 1720, the Swedish Post Office acquired the building, which functioned as Stockholm's sole post office until 1869 before becoming a museum in 1906.

The museum houses educational exhibitions about communication methods, including a section called Hello where visitors can experiment with typewriters and traditional writing.

Located near Gamla stan underground station, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM.

The Treasure Chamber contains exceptional postal items, including a rare stamp sheet with 4 Shilling Banco and two Mauritius Post Office stamps.
