The Philatelic and Postal Museum opened its doors in Lefkosia in 1981. In 1999 the museum was renovated and its exhibitions enhanced. A letter box from rural postal service dating back to late 19th early 20th century, early postmen’s uniforms, scales, seals and a postman’s bicycle from times gone bye are displayed in adjoining rooms. In addition a visitor can also view all the stamps of Cyprus from 1880 to date and can browse through the early registers compiled by the then postmasters. These registers offer postal historians valuable information for their research in the early workings of the post office.

The museum is situated at 3B Agiou Savva street in the old walled city of Lefkosia close to a number of historical churches that a visitor can reach on foot.
