The Postal Museum (Chinese: 郵政博物館;

In an attempt to promote business development and to help the public gain better knowledge in the field of post, the Directorate General of Posts (DGP) established the Postal Museum on December 1, 1965. The museum, originally accommodated in the former office of the DGP in suburban Hsintien, formally opened to public on the 20th of March, 1966. For the convenience of the public, it moved to the current site and re-opened on October 10, 1984. The exhibition is divided into four sections located on different floors. They are Postal History Section on the 2nd and 3rd floors, Modern Postal Service Section on the 4th floor, Philately Section on the 5th floor and Special Exhibition Section on the 6th floor. In addition, there is a library specialized in Postal Service and Philately on the 7th floor. The Postal Library houses a collection of over 40,000 books as well as hundreds copies of periodicals. Its open-shelf service allows visitors to access material easily and everyone is welcome to use it.

The Postal Museum (Chinese: 郵政博物館; pinyin: Yóuzhèng Bówùguǎn) is located on Nanhai Street in the Zhongzheng District of Taipei, Taiwan. The museum encompasses four floors and covers the history of Chunghwa Post (the postal service for the Republic of China and Taiwan), the modern postal service, philately, and special exhibitions.^[1]
The museum opened at a location in Xindian on March 20, 1967, on the 70th anniversary of Chunghwa Post. Due to remoteness of the Xindian location and the lack of space, the museum was moved to its present location in the Nanhai Academy in 1985.
The museum is within walking distance of the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall Station of the Taipei Metro.
