Postal Museum

Also known as Postmuseum

Liechtenstein issues its own postage stamps and has done so since 1912, and those stamps are taken seriously both as philatelic objects and as a small state's primary instrument of cultural diplomacy.

Liechtenstein has issued its own postage stamps since 1912 and used them as a primary vehicle for cultural expression and international identity. The Postal Museum in Vaduz holds the complete archive, original stamp artwork, and printing equipment documenting this history. More interesting than it sounds: the museum is a window into how a principality of 37,000 people projects sovereignty through design. On Städtle, the main pedestrian street; check landesmuseum.li for current hours.
