Stamp Museum, Postal museum in Altındağ, Turkey.
The Stamp Museum is a postal museum in Ankara spanning five floors and displaying thousands of stamps alongside postal service artifacts. The venue documents the evolution of postal history from the Ottoman period through modern Turkey.
The building was completed in 1934 and initially served as a bank headquarters before later being taken over by the postal service. This transition allowed one of the region's finest postal museums to be established here.
The museum displays stamps depicting Turkish landscapes, wildlife, and national figures, allowing visitors to learn about the country's history through these small artworks. The collections also help reveal what mattered to Turkish society across different periods.
The venue is located near the Ulus district and is relatively easy to reach, especially for those staying downtown in Ankara. Visitors should plan enough time to leisurely explore all five floors.
The museum holds the first Turkish postage stamp from 1863, printed at the Ottoman Imperial Mint. This early treasure marks the beginning of modern postal service in the country.
