The Singapore Philatelic Museum deals with the history of Singapore's stamps. The museum, previously a part of the Anglo-Chinese School was constructed in the year 1904. During the 1970s it served as a Methodist Book Room before being converted into a philatelic museum. Everyone will get elated after viewing the international and local exhibits. The stamps usually offer a visual narration of cultures and traditions and at the Singapore Philatelic Museum it is all the more conspicuous, the place where post-cards and stamps help us to understand the diversity and story of multi-cultural Singapore. |
