Singapore Philatelic Museum

Frommer's Review

This building, constructed in 1895 to house the Methodist Book Room, underwent a S$7-million (US$4.5-million/£2.3-million) restoration to become the Philatelic Museum in 1995. Exhibits include a fine collection of old stamps issued to commemorate historically important events, first-day covers, antique printing plates, postal service memorabilia, and private collections. Visitors can trace the development of a stamp from idea to the finished sheet, and you can even design your own. Free guided tours are available upon request.
