Guided Tour

In 1872, Germany's Postmaster General Heinrich v. Stephan founded the Imperial Postal Museum and the collection for today’s Museum for Communication in Berlin. For its 150th anniversary, we are showing exclusive early objects of this collection which are still fascinating today and tell their stories.
