SINGAPORE PHILATELIC MUSEUM - A WINDOW TO THE WORLD

They may be little pieces of paper affixed to envelopes denoting no more than the fact that the sender haspaid for its journey to its destination. But stamps, thanks to some creative ingenuity, have become one ofthe most popular collectible items in the world’s history.

Commemorating everything from the Olympics to the runaway success of JK Rowling’s literary creationHarry Potter, stamps can be said to be the first snapshots of the world that came in an affordable mediumavailable to practically anyone.

There are a variety of international stamps issued that depict these special ingredients that flavour mouth-watering local iconic dishes. A comic fanatic will go wild with the latest commemorative Singapore PostMyStamps on DC Comics and BATMAN, as well as stamp artworks, rare original comic art pages andcollectibles.

Spice is Nice Exhibition in two galleries on level 2

The League Against Evil: A DC Super Heroes Exhibition featuring SingPost MyStamps and collectibles

Need one say more as to why scores of school children seem to love visiting the Singapore PhilatelicMuseum? Aside from the obvious knowledge factor being easy learning tools, the power of stamps also liesin their very everydayness - people are familiar and un-intimidated by stamps, and almost have a sense ofownership with stamps from the era they grew up in.


WWW.SPINK.COM

SALE OF STAMPS OF SINGAPORE PHILATELIC MUSEUM HANDLING COLLECTION

And thus set behind that, makes a visit to the Singapore Philatelic Museum one that is filled not only withknowledge but an intimacy that recalls to mind one’s childhood and past. That, ultimately, is the power ofstamps - to be able to capture within its tiny borders, the social and cultural milieu of any time.

Journeying into the window of the world

Opened some 19 years ago in 1995, the museum may be dealing with a 170 year old subject and story,but it is a story that is told both with current day techniques and some 15,000 exhibits relating to philately,i.e. it’s not just stamps you’d be looking at.

The museum experience for example has interactivity built in mind right from the very start, as you beginyour tour with the first of the permanent galleries, the Orange Room. Inquisitive to humorous questionsas well as electronic digital displays that interact with visitors dot this permanent gallery that aims to gentlyimmerse the visitor into the world of philately and how it all came about.

The next permanent gallery serves to entrench the world’s most popular hobby, one shared by bothchildren and kings alike, as “the king of hobbies and the hobby of kings”. Of course the most excitingthing in this room is perhaps a larger than life stamp that you can pose behind and take home a photo of.

But the gem of the museum has to be its Room of Rarities, both of rare stamps and postal artefacts. Thereis the only known full set of 1854 Indian stamps used in the Straits Settlements or provisional stamps usedin the late 1800s when the Straits Settlements came into being and stamps then were imprinted over witha crown.

Stamps aside though, there are also the illustrious artefacts like a small section of the Royal Mail Chute thatwas installed at the American International Building at Robinson Road by the authority of the Postmaster-General of Malaya in 1958, or an unusual lamp post box circa 1949 that was used as a cheaper alternativeto the usual pillar boxes as these were just affixed to lamp posts.

The most heartwarming exhibit in this room, and also the most intimate, is the display of Singapore-designed post boxes through the ages. From the very first 1971 yellow post box to the orange to currentones, there’s a sense of nostalgia that accompanies seeing these gems from the past.

Special Exhibitions

If you’re lucky, the museum might be having one of its special days - when it’s hosting a changingexhibition. From stamps made with unusual materials such as beads, precious metals and those that havetaste and smell, to themed stamps on horses that lets one discover the myths, legends, art and hobbyrelating to this noble and strong creature, these special exhibitions use stamps and related artefacts to tellthe story of the world.

For example, did you know that stamps can be made of materials other than paper? These little treasurestickle your five senses of sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch. Put your nose to stamps that smell offamiliar scents like flower, coffee and chocolate. Feel stamps made of different materials such as flockage,wood, silk and lace. See stamps that glow in the dark and those that feature 3D images. Listen to stampsthat can play the national anthem, folk songs or even narrate a poem. There are stamps that taste ofchocolate!

Lastly, perhaps one of the best things that accompany a special exhibition is the activities surrounding it.The museum’s exhibition on DC Comics also saw workshops on how to create 3D model super heroes,draw your own super hero, fun colouring and stamp buttons.

Extending and sealing the experience

Like any good museum, one ends off the interesting museum visit by buying a piece of the museum home.From being able to buy a used Penny Black stamp (yes that world’s first stamp, and for an affordable pricetoo!), to sets of used stamps nicely packaged by theme e.g. by country, religion, hobby (the vintage WaltDisney stamps are great collectibles), there’s certainly something for everyone here in a stamp.

Aside from the other usual merchandise like postcards and tee-shirts (which in this museum comesembossed with a very cool head bust of Queen Victoria from the Penny Black stamp), don’t miss thechance to make your own stamps or send a loved one a postcard chronicling your day at the museumtopped off with the museum’s very own postmark.

For the former, you just have to get the museum staff to take a photo of you outside the museum rightnext to the iconic bright red pillar post box, print it onto a sheet of stamps (with real postage values on it),and you’re ready to send someone a letter with your very own face on the stamp.

For a museum that prides itself on believing that philately can excite and provide a window into areas likescience, technology, history, culture and other subjects, this museum certainly excites anyone aboutphilately too even if they weren’t before they stepped through its doors.

Seeing is Believing: Unusual Stamps Exhibition
