Search Room exhibitions

The British Postal Museum & Archive has a small exhibition area in the Search Room. This is used to display highlights from our philatelic collection. All Search Room exhibitions are free! All you have to do is visit the Archive.

Our current Search Room exhibition, Treasures of the Archive, showcases the highlights of the BPMA's collection.
