So I've been a stamp collector philatelist for all my life. And for me that's more than just putting stamps in an album, it's using stamps as really a gateway to study history and culture and geography and so on and so forth.
So the Paris Postal Museum was founded in the middle of the 20th century, and it's located in downtown Paris. But it was totally revamped and remodeled in the 2010. So, it's pretty new.
So there's a lot there for non collectors. I think it's worth, you know, a few hours of visit.
