In 2026, the great Paris Postal Museum celebrated its 80th anniversary by reverting to the name Musée Postal.
Indeed, the museum was opened in 1946 in the former Hôtel de Choiseul-Praslin under the name Musée Postal. It moved to its current location on Boulevard de Vaugirard in 1973, into a building specially designed as a postal museum by the architect André Chatelin, and changed its name to Musée de La Poste. In October 2009, following a major refurbishment of the exhibition areas, the museum again changed its name to L’Adresse Musée de La Poste (see article, published in VARIABLE 15).
To mark its 70th anniversary in 2016, the museum’s name reverted to Musée de La Poste, and ten years later it has again reverted to its original name, Musée Postal.
The museum installed a postal kiosk, as part of the refurbishment in 2009, issuing its own stamps from October of that year. Since then, it has issued at least one ATM/LISA stamp series annually, which can only be obtained from this kiosk. You can find articles on all its LISA issues from 2009 to 2022 on our previous website and in the VARIABLE publications, and on this page from 2023 onwards.
