This is an exciting time to come and work with us at The Postal Museum. In Spring 2017, The Postal Museum (formerly The British Postal Museum and Archive) will open a new heritage attraction in Central London, with two experiences in one.  Alongside the story of British social and communications history, we will offer a subterranean ride on the old Post Office Underground Railway – Mail Rail. This new museum and attraction will enable us to showcase the extraordinary stories from five centuries of one of the country’s most iconic services, grow our educational charity work and fundamentally change the way the organisation engages with its audiences. The Postal Museum will welcome over 180,000 visitors a year, along with a further 400,000 through our public events programme, digital and outreach offers. The Postal Museum will represent a significant addition to London’s cultural landscape. 

The new museum includes a new purpose built repository for the Archive, and a new search room for the public to engage with the archive and undertake research.
