Musée de La Poste is a Paris museum dedicated to the history of postal services and postal communications. It presents objects, documents and ephemera that trace national and international mail, telegraphy and postal administration.

Permanent displays cover mail delivery methods, postal vehicles and postal ephemera such as posters and stamps, while rotating exhibitions explore specific themes in communication history. There are also educational displays aimed at stamp collectors and school groups.

The museum grew from postal administration collections and functions as both a public exhibition space and an archive for postal heritage. Its holdings have been assembled over the 20th century from the French postal service’s collections.

The museum is located in central Paris’s 15th arrondissement, accessible by public transport and situated among other civic and cultural institutions in the area.

• Philately: Houses an extensive philatelic collection and regular thematic temporary exhibitions on postal history and communications.
