The National Philatelic Museum at Dak Bhawan, New Delhi, India, is operated by the Department of Post. The facility. which is housed on the ground floor of a building, underwent a redevelopment in 2011. It now hosts an amphitheater for presentations and discussions, a library and an area where artists can be seen at work, as well as displays of postage stamps and related items. The Museum has displayed number of frames in which exhibits of Post Independence era stamps can impress any Visitor with its charm. The frames have been arranged beautifully in different sections like section for Sheetlets, section for different themes, Section for Stamps from different countries.The museum organises philatelic workshops on regular basis with the students of different schools. Children discover many stories that stamps can tell and appreciate how these colorful and attractive stamps are educational yet fun for them. The museum also has a souvenir shop which offers variety of philatelic products like stamps, year packs, stamp albums, picture postcards, pictorial cancellation of National Philatelic Museum, and gift items.

A museum which comprises historical moments via post stamps. They have every stamp on display with date of publishing since Independence. To find one closest to ones birthday would be an interesting exercise. The overseas collection is extensive too. It is wonderful to see how different moments, living beings, places have been covered by this organization. On top of all one can get their personalised and valid stamps made for Rs300 per page of stamps, it can contain your own photograph too. A very neat and clean place with sufficient seats. I would like to suggest them to keep magnifying glasses for visitors as stamps are tiny and detailed and there are hundreds of them. Till then pls bring your own magnifying glasses. Entry is free. Bags are not allowed inside. No particular place to keep them but bags can be left at the entrance. A great place for all specially children.

Its an interesting place. A guide or some more information about the exhibits would be really useful for a philatelic layman.They have really good souvenirs and miniatures for sale.

It is a place where you find all the dak tickets under one roof..

This is a brilliant museum featuring stamps of different eras.Many historians in the past used to collect coins to document history in books.I think stamps do the same job when you explore it with a keen eye.You can see almost all the stamps from colonial rule to recent years.They have a dedicated collection to Children.Its really fun to visit child stamp section here.There are a wide range of stamps featuring various achievements of Modern India,Exotic animal species,Poets,Cinema legends,Pioneers in Fundamental Research,Lakes,Kings etc.There is also a Souvenir store where you can buy things like Card holders(with a stamp imprinted on it),Pens,Catalogues,mugs etc.Must visit!!

This little-known museum is located in Dak Bhawan, and is a really good showcase of stamps, especially those issued by India Post. Several panels display (in chronological order) stamps issued since 1947, and there are separate sections that deal with Indian stamps by subject: wildlife, music, cinema, art, railways, sports, Gandhiji, and so on. A childrens section has a display of all the Childrens Day stamps issued, and theres a large section of truly fascinating and beautiful stamps from other parts of the world.Miniature sheets, first day covers, and a model of the biplane that ferried the worlds first airmail (between Allahabad and Naini in 1911) are also part of the collection. In addition, the museum offers a service where you can have a customised stamp (with your photo) printed.No entry fee is charged, but you have to enter your details in the register with the guard at the door.

This place is closed post Covid lockdown. Last updated -21 Aug 2021, it was closed

Just outsider patel chowk metro station. good place for postal ticket lovers. huge collection of daak tickets

Nice place, entry is free, sitting arrangement is here, staff behavior is good.

A very calm and peaceful place in central Delhi. Just in front of patel chauk metro station. Here you can see the historical changes in Indiana post. Very nice place. Must visit.

Rich collection of postal stamps released by India till date. Includes certain collection of few other countries. A definite touch point for any philatelist. Ambience is great with option to sit ant buy postal stationery

Located and Sansad Marg, it is a paradise for a very small philatelist like me. I was like a kid in a candy store. The collection showcased at the museum is simply mind-blowing. India has a very rich Philatelic history due to the British but was unfortunate to see stamps only post independence. The specialised collection on 100 years of Fifa is a must see. My personal favourite was the the Lord of the Rings stamps from New Zealand. If your a Philatelic enthusiasts then this museum is a one time must visit.

It was closed as on 10th July 2021. Upon enquiry, the guard stated that it has been closed since one year.

The museum is situated near Patel Chowk Metro station and has a year wise collection of indian postal stamps. You literally go through history pages as you see the stamps made based on events, leaders, scientists and other Indian heritages. There is a collection of international stamps also. A brief look at old times in form of postboxes and old indian postal antiques.

It was wonderful experience. They also print my stamp in 15 min for 300 rupees only with your image. They HV souvenirs postcards keychain stamp holder etc. Its just in front of Patel chowk metro. Easy to get there.

Nice information about postage stamp. Go with your children. Entry is free. Nearest Metro Station is Patel Chowk, Delhi.

The opening and closing are wrongly updated in Google maps

Excellent place for philatelists and philately enthusiasts. Exhibits of large framed stamps adorn the walls with some history of Indian philately. Kids will also like this place. One room has everything interesting on stamps packed in. Souvenirs like mugs, tshirts, bottles are avl.Stamps are available for sale at the counter. However the variety of stamps is limited and most are available online. The adjacent museum is closed due to Covid but the Bureau is open.

Although online and on gmap it was showing that museum is open.... But in actual it was closed because of covid...even in January 2021.... And no dates for its opening yet

This museum has lots of stamps n there are section which will tell you the process n bonus point you can order your own stamp. They also have some cool collection which you can buy. Though the only issue is the boards where stamps are placed they really need to fix lighting for better visibility. But overall nice place to engage.

Nice museum .. Located just outside Patel Chowk metro .. Very few people come here , Central AC is there and infrastructure is good !

Its good for people who are interested in knowing about postage stamps. Postage stamps are displayed on boards in chronological order. They depict the Indian history, culture, landscape, resources, personalities, technology etc. You can get your own stamp released. You need to provide your photo, ID and pay Rs. 300 and you can get 12 stamps on a sheet within 15 min.

Amazing 🤟

Great place to visit, hardly a few people visit and has place to sit and study if you want to. Is quieter than a library. Has stamps from 1947 to current time all arranged neatly in shelves. Has some rare ones too. Please note that photography is not allowed. It is situated in the main head post office building in New Delhi. Must visit for stamp collectors.

Simply awesome

Place is awesome despite of less visitor. You can get your own custom made stamps with your photograph for around 300 or more. There is no entry fees and hosts ample parking space specially if you are visiting on Sundays. Overall its a good place to visit and you can spend around an hour here. Nearby you can visit Shankar Doll museum which is approximately located at the distance of 15 minutes.Must visit to enhance your knowledge and kids too.Security guards are very polite and provide guidance.

An interesting place worth visiting, you do not find very exciting things but you are amidst Stamps all over, Souvenirs and various aspects of Postal System surround. Good place for explorers.

Must visit for philately enthusiasts as well as kids. Extensive collection. Lighting can be improved inside as the exhibits were in the dark. Everyone will enjoy the look at Indias culture and diversity through stamps. You can purchase the current year stamps.

Closed from last 9 months due to covid 19

There was so many stamps since freedom struggle to this day, there were childrens day special stamp, there was wild animal, temple special stamps and the museum is very big...there were books also. Well maintained in respect of cleanliness....complete a.c over the museum. At least we need 4- 5 hours to finish....

Very good museum by Indian post containing complete postage history...

There is a shop also which allows you to have your own personalized valid postage stamp sheet got printed for 300 Inr... Worth visiting once....

A guide or some more information about the exhibits would be really useful for a philatelic layman.They have really good souvenirs

Nice place to know about Indian history thru post and stamps. Parking is not available so park at gurudwara Bangla Sahib and walk rest of distance.

Great collection of postal stamps... Nice place to visit. Peaceful environment...

Could be made much better. Something interactive should be there. Feels a little lifeless , also due to the sparse no. of visitors. Have good infra though

Indian Daak ticket history so great I love Daak system my country

Was an amazing experience going through the things at display. A must visit place for children. The only problem is that it is not located in a noticeable place so people walking around central delhi may not easily notice it. Definitely a learning experience for generations to come if the government doesnt pull down the shutters.

This place is truly wonderful and is well maintained despite the fact that no entry fees is charged. It is basically a stamp museum and has collection of stamps issued by india post year wise, topic wise( science,space,army,arts,navy,airforce,etc).place feels timeless and i personally spent 1hour in this small yet beautiful place.

An good educational spot for kids, specially those into collecting stamps. The place had been well arranged with history and artefacts to make the journey interesting. It easy to reach too. Just take the metro and get down at Patel chowk. It a minutes walk from the metro station

Great collection

Excellent museum for all stamps lover and philetelist. Caution: Dont be confused with philatelic bureau (thats on Sansad Mark). Worth a visit. Truly

Amazing one of its kind museum in india. Worth a visit, specially with kids.

A great place for philately lovers. You can make your own stamp at 300/- in less than 10 minutes. And if 2 or more than 2 set u get 10% discount. U can also buy new stamps from here.

Stamp collection is beautifulYou can find all the stamps used of indian historyThey are many difference types of collections to watch

All type of postage system are described... Stamps older than older and newer than newer available.. nice place for photo graph also

In DAK Bhawan, near Patel Chowk metro station. Worth visiting for philatelist.

Very good place,a must visit for children.no entry fee.one can buy sovenieurs from there.we can click photographs.

Beautiful museum in a beautiful space in head post office building and well maintained by the Postal department of Delhi. National philatelic Museum is situated Just near the Patel Chowk Metro Station in Patel Chowk, New Delhi. Museum has very nice collection of valuable and beautiful stamps which were started before the Independence and after the Independence. In the museum we can see the Indian stamps and its history and the stamps of other countries too. It maybe a tourist spot for childrens and philatelic lovers. The entry is free.

National Philatelic Museum is a real gem for museum lovers. It has a great collection from 1947 to 2014 year wise as well as tiny corner for International stamps. It takes at least 2 hrs to see. After 2014,nothing is displayed over there. That made me sad :(It is very well maintained museum. No entry fees and just few steps from Patel Chowk metro station.They have a shop inside if you wanna buy table top or stamp book for reasonable prize. They have some fridge magnets, but that does not look like a stamp.

Philatelic museum has a good collection but display till the floor loses the focus to go through all the stamp collections. The importance of stamp can well be understood after a visit.

Its must visit place. I enjoyed being there exploring the rich resource they have. Unfortunately localities dont use it much.

For stamp lovers.It has collection of all the stamps ever issued by Indian government since independence.

If you are fond of postal stamps .. definitely visit here .. its very nearer to Patel chowk metro station..(walkable distance)

Very informative and very aesthetically done. Well sustained. Beautiful. Must visit to know your country Abbas culture.

A place to learn about INDIA and its diverse culture and progress through stamps. A must visit with kids.

Justice is done being a national philately museum. Philatelists will definitely love this place. Lots on info and service from the staffs are to the best. Kids and Youngsters must visit.

It has a mind-blowing collection of Indian postal stamps right from the British Rule in India till present. It also showcases how Indian Post developed over more than 100 years. A must visit place for everyone, especially students, teachers and scholars.

A small, simple and to the point exhibition, tastefully kept. The theme is simple...stamps!

Good to visit for a philatelic collector.Lacks pre-independence stamps but otherwise well maintained and you can buy year set of stamps and as well as my stamps also.

It was wonderful to see such old postal stamps

Good exhibition, especially the corner where all postage stamps issues post independence are displayed chronologically.The security staff lacks professionalism. Found sleeping on duty.

Great learning place for children. Interesting souvenirs.

Good collection of stams. Must visit for philatelist
