Stamp Museum

Tourist attraction Museum

👍👍 A very interesting museum, totally unexpected! The collection of stamps, which I was told contains more than half a million pieces, has some rare examples, and stamps from the origins to most recent times from all over the world! In fact, in one big room you'll find all these drawers for you to free... People often mention stamps, collection, interesting, museum, world, stamp, exhibition, lyegek, interested, space,

    A very interesting museum, totally unexpected! The collection of stamps, which I was told contains more than half a million pieces, has some rare examples, and stamps from the origins to most recent times from all over the world! In fact, in one big room you'll find all these drawers for you to freely open and have six pages, inside glass panels, full of stamps. Never seen anything like it before, so that was the first surprise. They are organised per country, and the legend on the side of each block will tell you from which frame to which you can find the ones from each state (in English, too). The helpful lady there, although spoke little English, helped us very much, explaining the collection and its organisation, and provided us some material/leaflets in English as well. Surprisingly, there was nobody else in the museum during our visit, but that allowed us to have a proper relaxed look at many stamps. We spent a long time and more would have been needed!

    This morning , my husband (who has a stamp collecting website in the U.S.A.), and I went to this stamp museum. We were very impressed with the vast selections of stamps they had in their collection. We found some that my husband had in his personal collection and had written about. We spent the whole morning here and could have spent even longer if we weren't pressed for time. We both loved visiting here. I would highly recommend it if you are interested in the stamp collecting hobby.

    I have seen some wonderful stamps in this place. I recommend the "Women's Eyes" exhibition (not only for women), which runs until September, to everyone's attention.

    (Translated by Google) The 1 star is not for the museum, but for information. According to their website and Google, it is open while it is closed. It is extremely annoying when a person comes to the museum and it turns out that he is closed indefinitely. Please at least improve the opening hours of their website so that no one is disappointed in the same way. Thanks! (Original) Nem a múzeumnak szòl az 1 csillag, hanem a tájékoztatásnak. A honlapjuk és Google szerint is nyitva, mìg a valòságban zárva van. Rendkìvűl bosszantò, ha az ember eljön a mùzeumhoz és ott derül ki, hogy határozatlan ideig zárva van. Kérem javítsák legalább a honlapjuk nyitvatartás részét, hogy más ne csalòdjon hasonlòképpen. Köszönöm!

    (Translated by Google) A must for all stamp collectors. It's unbelievable how much the enthusiasts have put together here. Everyone who is interested in stamps has to come by and not only admire the stamps of the Hungarian Post Probe brands from all over the world. There are special shows such as space, astrophysics, space research. (Original) Für alle Briefmarkensammler ein muss. Unglaublich wie viel hier die Entusiasten zusammen getragen haben. Jeder der sich für Briefmarken interessiert muss hier vorbei kommen und nicht nur die Briefmarken der ungarischen Post Sonden Marken aus der ganzen Welt bewundern. Es gibt Sonderschauen wie z.B. Weltall, Astrophysik, Weltraumforschung.

  • 5/5 Eva K. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The Astrological Therapy exhibition is impressive for both young and old. Bullshit stamps, the little prince's planet next to the other planets ..... great. The Semmelweis exhibition, together with films, helps to get to know the tragic oeuvre. Excellent selection! (Original) Az Asztro-trilógia című időszaki kiállítás lenyűgözően érdekes kicsiknek és nagyoknak egyaránt. Lajka kutyáról készült bélyegek, a kis herceg bolygója mellett a többi bolygó.....remek. A Semmelweis-kiállítás pedig filmekkel kiegészítve hozzásegít a tragikus életmű árnyaltabb megismeréséhez. Kiváló válogatás!

    (Translated by Google) The largest collection of stamps in the world can be found here. The ticket is automatically accompanied by a personalized guide. The people who work here are extremely enthusiastic. Periodical exhibitions are also very interesting. (Original) A világ legnagyobb bélyeggyűjteménye található meg itt. A belépővel automatikusan jár egy személyre szabott vezetés. Rendkívül lelkesek az itt dolgozók. Az időszaki kiállítások is nagyon érdekesek.

  • 5/5 John F. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Organized, well-organized collection with many thousands of stamps. The historical exhibition is excellent in showcases. Watching everything is a multi-day program, but there is a list of the most interesting stamps that you might want to ask for, and finding them for a game is also good. I recommend to everyone ! (Original) Kultúrált, rendezett gyűjtemény sok-sokezer bélyeggel. A történeti kiállítás a vitrinekben kiváló. Mindent végignézni több napos program lenne, de van lista a legérdekesebb bélyegekről, amit érdemes elkérni, megkeresni őket játéknak is jó. Ajánlom mindenkinek !

  • 5/5 Balázs H. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Stamps of the countries of the world together, in one place. Great collection, high quality thematic period exhibitions. Elementary school children interested in philately are given free morning classes every 2 weeks, where young people can get acquainted not only with the stamp, but also with the cultural peculiarities of Hungary. (Original) A világ országainak bélyegei együtt, egy helyen. Nagyszerű gyűjtemény, rendkívül színvonalas tematikus időszaki kiállítások. A filatélia iránt érdeklődő általános iskolás gyermekeknek 2 hetente ingyenes délelőtti szakkörök, amelyeken nemcsak a bélyeggel, hanem Magyarország kulturális sajátosságaival is megismerkedhetnek a fiatalok.

  • 4/5 Rózsa F. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The Stamp Museum is located in the 7th district of Budapest. Entering the building, the tile wall covering the staircase wall, which was made at the Zsolnay factory, is decorated with mustard and punch perforation. The number of stamps in the museum is about 13 million. In addition to the stamps, old documents and stamps are also stored in the museum building. The exhibition room is a huge room, and the stamps are stored in wall-mounted glass-framed glass panels. It protects it from light, heat and humidity. The most interesting pieces of the exhibition include the Reverse Madonna and Nagymánya, or the first stamp of the world in 1840, Black Penny, and Mauritius's new stamps. It was very interesting, an excellent tour guide guided the group and spiced the story with interesting stories. (Original) A Bélyegmúzeum Budapest VII.kerületében található. Az épületbe belépve szembetűnik a lépcsőház falát borító csempe, amelyet a Zsolnay gyárban készítettek, mustár színű és bélyegperforáció díszítésű. A múzeumban őrzött bélyegek száma körülbelül 13 millió. A bélyegeken kívül régi iratokat, bélyegzőket is őriznek a múzeum épületében. A kiállító helyiség egy hatalmas terem, a bélyegek falba süllyesztett, fémkeretes üveglapok között vannak tárolva. Így védik a fénytől, hőtől és a párától. A kiállítás érdekesebb darabjai többek között a Fordított Madonna és a Nagymánya, vagy a világ első, 1840-ben kiadott bélyege a Black Penny, és a Mauritius újnyomatú bélyegek. Nagyon érdekes volt, kiváló idegenvezető kalauzolta a csoportot, érdekes történetekkel fűszerezve az ismertetőt.

    An interesting experience. Literally tens of thousands of stamps from all over the world and different periods of time. However, most details are in Hungarian language and you have to figure out for yourself details. If you want to see all of it you will need days.

    A very nice exibition and an impressive collection of stamps from all over the world - very friendly staff. The texts in the exibits are, however, only in hungarian, which is a real pitty. A must for anyone the least interested in stamps.

  • 5/5 Vera R. 5 years ago on Google
    I'm a philstelist and have visited stamp museums in many cities.This is the best so far. The central display is on space exploration, and you are given an information sheet on where to find the rarest stamps in the extensive walls of sliding panels. A secret dark room explains details of stamp production with a magnifier. There is also a 20 frame exhibit on the earliest Hungarian stamps. Worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Éva T. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Wonderful stamps, thematic exhibition! (Original) Csodaszép bélyegek, tematilus kiállítás!

  • 5/5 Yang L. 5 years ago on Google
    Magyar Posta holds an enormous collection of early stamps issues from countries all over the world. There is a small chamber showing Hungarian stamps with special printing techniques under magnifiers and UV light. They provide laminated info sheet in various languages that are very helpful. Some postal-related interesting exhibits in the center of the room. This is only a museum for the stamps. Postal services and history exhibits are in the Postal Museum.

    (Translated by Google) Worth checking out, nice collection! Unfortunately, some of the stamps no longer fit in the exhibition space. (Original) Érdemes megnézni, szép gyűjtemény! Sajnos a bélyegek egy része már nem fér el a kiállítótérben.

  • 5/5 Attila B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Although the museum has not been advertised on the brain, many do not know that it exists, it is definitely worth visiting! Exhibitions are always of high quality. There are lots of beautiful stamps, postcards, and postal relics in almost every country in the world. You can also look at the sights individually with the help of an expert guide. Air-conditioned exhibition hall. (Original) Bár nem agyon reklámozott a múzeum, sokan nem is tudják, hogy létezik, mindenképpen érdemes meglátogatni! Mindig nagyon színvonalasan a kiállítások. Rengeteg szép bélyeg, levelezőlap, postai relikvia található a múzeumban a világ szinte összes országából. A látnivalókat szakértő tárlatvezetéssel egyénileg is meg lehet nézni, érdeklődésnek megfelelően. Klimatizált kiállítóterem.

  • 5/5 Bartl A. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) If I remember correctly, 500,000 stamps are denominated in a special system of systems, ranging from country to country. This is a quantity that is impossible to summon at one time. At the beginning of the exhibition we got a card with some of the more interesting, more interesting babies, finding them in itself was a good game for the kids. In the museum there is a cloakroom and a washbasin. There is no separate parking space, this is to be solved in the surrounding streets. (Original) Ha jól emlékszem akkor kb. 500.000 bélyeg van kiallitva egy speciális szekrenyrendszerben, országonként szortirozva. Ez olyan mennyiség, amit egyszerre lehetetlen vegignezni. A kiállítás elején kaptunk egy lapot, rajta néhány kiemelt, érdekesebb belyeggel, ezeket megkeresni önmagában is egy jó játék volt a gyerekeknek. A múzeumban van ruhatár és mosdó is. Külön parkoló nincs, ezt a környező utcákban kell megoldani.

    (Translated by Google) Nothing special. The exhibition itself is about nothing. There is a collection of Hungarian stamps, almost complete. And brands of countries in the world, for acquaintance, several stands. I would not go a second time. (Original) Ничего особенного. Сама экспозиция ни о чем. Имеется коллекция марок Венгрии, почти полная. И марки стран мира, для ознакомления, по нескольку стендов. Я второй раз не пошел бы.
