Such a well-organised and interesting museum. From Malta's old stamps to Queen Victoria's letters, this museum is a gem. The tour went into historical detail yet was fun for kids. A must go place.

The lady at reception offered an exciting quest for our kids. They were searching for the secret codes to solve a riddle. It was wonderful. And in the end was made a photo of our family as a stamp. A pleasant souvenir to remember the trip. Thanks a lot to the lady in the museum!

My wife and I recently visited the Malta Postal Museum in Valletta. I had heard that the museum is an emerging favourite among tourists, and we weren't disappointed. From the moment we walked into this newer museum (it opened in 2016), we were impressed. This is a museum where less is more - and care has been taken to tell each story and tell it well. Highly recommended!

Wer sich fur Philatelie, Postgeschichte order einfach nur ein Stuck maltesischer Geschichte interessiert ist hier sehr gut aufgehoben. Das Museum macht einen sehr modernen and gut strukturierten Eindruck. Es bietet neben einer kompletten Sammlung maltesisher Briefmarker, Briefmarkentwurfen, historischen Belegen aus allen Epochen, einem historischen Postschalter oder einen Postmotorrad auch die ein oder andere interessante Anekdote zur maltesischen (Post)Geschichte.

I came with the kids as soon as it opened and came again this year. Very satisfied as the service and activities for the kids got even better! Very interactive and informative. The guides were very nice with the kids and tours were appropriate for kids of different ages.

We came across this museum by chance and what a little gem it turned out to be. The staff were so welcoming and the whole museum was immaculately presented and very informative. One might think that a Postal Museum would be of limited interest but that would be a great mistake. A great little museum. Well done to all the staff who make you feel so welcome.

We had seen good reviews and were not disappointed. This is a fantastic museum in a beautiful building. It is very well laid out and provides a full history not only of Malta's postal service but of Malta itself. Cannot recommend the museum highly enough - we loved it!

Great experience for the children to understand how letters arrive at home and to see the history behind it. They then had the experience to write and post their letters to Father Christmas which they really enjoyed. This was a school outing age group 5 years.

If you're anything of a history buff, this place is really neat. Not only are there stamps going back to the original Penny Black, but there are originals of handwritten letters from the middle ages. So many museums in Malta have hidden away their artefacts in favour of putting out copies for travelers to see. Not these guys. And it was so appreciated!

We visited on a special evening of Notte Bianca and had a guided tour by a very knowledgeable lady who talked us through all the highlights and exhibits. A beautiful museum, well thought out and has a great story to tell about how we used to communicate. Some excellent examples of letter writing with some cherished memories. A joy for any philatelist. Thank you to all for a wonderful visit.

John

My joy when walking in was not just finding several floors of stamp collection, but to see that the museum also detailed the different eras of the island and how the delivery of mail during those periods was changed by the larger events happening. It's a small glimpse into how the most mundane of the day to day must adapt to larger circumstances that don't always get when reading history.

This museum surprises, informs and intrigues. The collection highlights why and how the Malta postal service developed, starting from the 15th century, and how the stamps issued reflect Maltese history and Malta's national sense, values and environment. Well done to MaltaPost for acting to preserve and present important aspects of Malta's heritage.

This is a treasure of a museum - and it is so much more than a stamp collection - the history of postage in Malta is woven into Malta's history in an engaging way...Malta has many fine public museums - all the Heritage Malta sites are excellent - just in front of them comes the Fortifications centre - and just in front of that now is the Postal Museum!

A gem of a place, offering interesting insights apart from a comprehensive display of Maltese stamps. The collection of letters from different epochs is thrilling. The activity area for children at the topmost floor is a great bonus. Definitely not just for philatelists!

This delightful museum only opened in the summer of 2016 and is on a narrow frontage in Archbishop Street Valletta; it does not yet appear on all the Valletta tourist maps. It is most attractively laid out on three floors and has as much appeal to the general public as well as to serious philatelists. There are numerous video clips so it is far from being a traditional museum. On my second visit one of the guides was escorting an enthusiastic class of 30 young schoolchildren; may they all turn into stamp collectors!
Alison

A wonderful museum, beautifully set out, and really informative. Different video presentations on each floor. Immaculately kept, and very welcoming. We visited other museums and this was definitely the best kept.

This was the most amazing collection of Malta postal history, including a remarkable group of disinfected covers, a complete collection of Maltese stamps up to and including the present day and lots of other interesting post related items. Particularly interesting was the log of post office hand stamps that were in use. The collection is on three floors with easy access to each floor by lift. A really wonderful little museum and post office which is well worth a visit in Valletta.

A merited monument for Malta's postal history. Great location in the historic Valletta. Grand building with a beautiful restoration. Exhibits are delightful, and pleasantly uncrowded, helping you appreciate the place more. A trip down memory lane for this old form of communications which remains with us in this digital age. Great job!

Tucked away between two cafes it's easy to walk past the entrance to this museum, but there is a red carpet outside to help you find it. Once you have found it please go in and find a great little museum with lots of interesting facts and a very helpful lady at the desk. There is a small charge but well worth it!

This is a small museum near the Greek Church on Archbishop Street in Valletta. I recommend a visit even if you are not interested in philately. This neat well laid out museum takes you through the postal history of Malta, giving an insight of Malta during the various periods of its history. A big thank you to the Curator and the very pleasant staff, making this small, charming Museum a must on a visit to Valletta.

I had the pleasure of visiting your museum two weeks ago, and was really pleased at what I found, very well set out,
It was really intesting to read about Mr Zerafa and his family, for many years I was penfriend to his eldest daughter, before she passed away in 1983,
Donna Bonello was very helpful,and as I am sure all your staff are.
I was thrilled to bits with the stamps, thanks for a super visit.

I honestly think that this is a great place for a school outing. Students are guaranteed a great experience learning about history and design amongst other things. The museum's mascot, Peppi the postman is an attractive character for children, capable of holding their interest throughout the experience.

Recently established in the heart of Valletta, this is a hidden gem of a museum appealing to all ages. There is a working post office on the ground floor within the museum and friendly, knowledgeable staff ensure your visit is worthwhile!

A splendid little museum hidden in the back streets of Valletta. Excellently laid out, easy to follow even for those who had little interest in philately, and a good children's corner. A lot of thought had gone into this museum and its displays, deserves to be better advertised by Malta's tourist information centre.

The museum is an ideal place for conferences due to its location, history, interior decoration full of historical memorabilia and works of art, interesting surroundings, and the staff were all very helpful. It is also an ideal place to visit with foreign friends as it offers a spectacular overview of Maltese history and tradition as narrated in our philately.

I loved this place. Granted, I am a stamp collector and dealer, so this was No. 1 on my list of things to do in Malta. The staff are very friendly, and can take a photo of you to create your own sheet of postage stamps. I have an awesome sheet of my hubby & I next to a postbox. I also bought a lovely Malta Post Box pin badge. Very reasonable prices. The exhibition itself is fascinating, the history of post on Malta. I'm sure even a non-stamp collector would find the history quite interesting.

I was very impressed with the high level of this new state-of-the-art museum. Although one thinks it is small on going in, one keeps discovering floor after floor of perfectly exhibited interesting exhibits. Lighting and finish of the museum are superb and act as an example to what other Maltese museums should strive for. Well done to all who worked on this project.

We visited in the first week of December and found the Curator, Lara on top form, along with her enthusiastic team. . Nothing was too much trouble and doors were unlocked and opened to allow me to get good photographs. We spent nearly three hours in this museum, which at €5 each represents excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

Very interesting and so well presented in an attractive, interactive, easy and fun way! The staff are wonderful and so helpful and clearly have their heart in it. It's a museum with soul which touches you because of the very personal human element that postal services have played and continue to play. Take your children and don't miss it!

A truly amazing experience that this brand new museum has to offer. Collectors and non-collector of stamps or other postal elements will be left mesmerised with the huge collection of stamps present. The devil is in the detail as they say as all the stamps which some of them are extremely rare are well presented for the visitors to admire these magnificent historical pieces. By far one of the top museums on the island.
