If you’re into philately then it’s a must visit in Taipei. Closes early at 5 PM and staff speaks mandarin mostly so keep a translation app handy. Don’t forget to stamp postcards on the different floors. You can buy stamps from reception and write postcards to yourself or friends and family.

Excellent experience even for foreigners. Cool airconditioning and not a lot of people make for an good stop over for a slow day.

So exciting to see the stamps of countries, as well as stamps dedicated to specific things such as space and rare maps. Make sure to check out the Children's floor on the 4F for an interactive good time.

The entrance ticket you get is also a postcard!

An educational and meaningful museum for visiting before the post office may be taken over by electronic media one day.

Informative and engaging displays. Very interesting to learn about the history of the postal system and see many commemorative stamps. Fun children's area open too.

For a dollar, a cool museum. Museum is opened from level 2-6 and offers stamps from around the world!

Interesting place to learn the history of post. And they have post collections all over the world.

Ticket price is cheap ($10 for an adult). 2F to 6F are the areas of postal museum. Each floor has different exhibition theme.

We came here to sent our postcards and didn’t expect they have extensive postal theme museum. Which is an amazing experience and interesting knowledge gains.
There’s entrance fee of TW$10 but you get a free postcard.
There are several floors with different exhibitions and one floor dedicated for children to play. I personally love the worlds’ rare stamps section.
There are also albums full of stamps sets for customers to buy and avid stamp collectors definitely need to spare some budgets in here.

I thought that an hour would be enough to see the entire museum but I ended up staying for almost three hours. I was pleasantly surprised to see a comprehensive collection of postal artifacts not just from Taiwan but from many countries, including those that no longer exist (e.g., South Yemen). The interactive stamp designer, which lets you create a commemorative stamp with your picture in it, was a neat idea.

There is a small admission fee of 5 NT dollars. Most exhibits are described in both Chinese and English. All of the museum employees I interacted with have limited English.
