...Beautiful facade view of the world’s oldest postal museum... and one of Berlin’s most attractive museums... this unique place takes visitors on a journey through the evolution of communication, from ancient methods to the cutting-edge technologies of today... popular exhibits include the evolution of telephones, the history of postal services, and the development of the internet... a space where visitors not only learn about the history of communication but also actively participate in the story... with Postcrossing stamp and nice special cancellation👍of an International Postcard Convention celebrating Postcrossing 20th Anniversary held at the museum... Thanks a lot Dustin!ヽ(•‿•)ノ

In 1872, Heinrich von Stephan, Germany’s postmaster general back then, was the prime mover in setting up a museum to collect, document and display means of transport from around the world and across the ages.
The imposing Wilhelmine-era museum building was completed in 1898 and has been a museum ever since. Badly damaged in the Second World War and later converted, renovated and reconstructed in an extensive refurbishment programme, the building re-opened in 2000 as the Museum of Communication Berlin.
