| Singapore Philatelic Museum |
This museum will definitely attract stamp collectors from all over the world. House in an 88-year-old Historic colonial building, the Singapore Philatelic Museum is a gold mine filled with local and International stamps, philatelic materials, and postal history artifacts dating as far back as the Straits Settlement. Significant exhibits include the history and culture of Singapore and the rare collections of world-class philatelists. Other exhibits trace the development of a stamp from artwork through printing plates and progressive sheets to the final product. The museum is equipped with an audio-visual theater, a resource center and 11 interactive games, which allow visitors to test their philatelic knowledge, deliver mail through a maze, and even design their own stamps. Both pre-arranged and daily tours are also available.
