Visit our new exhibition The Postal Museum will re-open from 20 May*, with a new exhibition celebrating over 150 years of the British postcard. An innovation of its time, the postcard meant faster, cheaper correspondence through the post. They were used to send secret messages of love, boost morale for soldiers at war and to boast from holidays near and afar. Discover the past and future of the postcard, with entry to this temporary exhibition included with Museum tickets.  Read more *Subject to government guidelines. When can I visit?
