The nationwide event “Museum Open Days,” traditionally held during the first week of March each year, is currently taking place across Mongolia.

As part of the event, stamp enthusiasts, children, and young people are visiting the Mongolian Stamp Museum to learn about the history of Mongolian postage stamps. On this occasion, teachers and students from the General Education Sports Central School, the Mongolian-Russian Joint School No. 3, and the School of Young Inventors visited the museum.

The Mongolian Stamp Museum, located in the Central Post Office, first opened its doors in 2014. Visitors to the museum have the chance to explore the 100-year history of Mongolian stamps. Notably, the museum exhibits “Eldev-Ochir,” Mongolia’s first postage stamp issued in 1924. In 2024, this historic stamp was registered as cultural heritage by UNESCO, becoming the first postage stamp in the world to be included in UNESCO’s heritage register.

The museum displays more than 4,500 stamps across over 1,200 themes, reflecting Mongolia’s history and culture and that of the wider world, along with over 200 first-day covers. Among the exhibits are the world’s largest postage stamp, triangular stamps, high-tech gold and silver stamps, as well as foil and silk stamps, priceless philatelic works, and awards received from successful participation in international stamp exhibitions and competitions.

During the “Museum Open Days,” which will run until March 7, visitors to the Stamp Museum can explore the variety and design of Mongolian postage stamps and learn about the country’s history, culture, nature, flora and fauna, arts, sports, and development, from the era of the Mongol Empire to the present day, while also gaining insight into the history and culture of other nations represented through stamps.
