Postal Museum

One of Asia's older postal collections, in the same colonial building since 1933

The Museum Pos Indonesia is housed in the original Hoofdpostkantoor (Central Post Office) built in 1931 by J. Berger and J. Gerber — the same architects who designed the Gedung Sate next door. The collection runs from precolonial messenger systems through the Dutch postal monopoly to modern Indonesian stamps. A long wall of philatelic exhibits covers stamps from across the Asian-African Conference nations.

The building itself is the bigger draw: an unusually large Art Deco interior with original wooden counters and tiled floors still in everyday use. Free admission. Closed Sundays.
