The Malta Postal Museum is located in a restored 16th-century building on Archbishop Street in Valletta. It traces the history of Malta's postal service from the Knights of St. John to the present day. Exhibits include rare stamps, postal uniforms, mail coaches, and interactive displays. Visitors can see the first Maltese stamp, the 'Halfpenny Yellow,' and learn about the role of the postal service during wartime. The museum also features a philatelic library and a gift shop.
