Almost 200 years of national and international rare stamps are exhibited in the temporary exhibition of the Money Museum and the Stamp Museum.

 

The 28th of January in 2025, Budapest: A new temporary exhibition entitled 'Postage stamps and banknotes - hand in hand' opened on the 28th of January in 2025 at the Money Museum. The choice of location is not a coincidence as the Stamp Museum started its operations in 1930 in the former Postal Palace building. Some of the most exciting pieces from the collection of nearly 15 million stamps have returned to their former home.

 

The common ground is not only the once identical location. Like a banknote, the postage stamp is an object of value, manufactured according to strict specifications and incorporating various security features. The Hungarian Banknote Printing Company in charge of the production of banknotes has been helping with the manufacturing of stamps since 1949.

Visitors can see the world's first stamp printed on metal foil, the Nixon jewellery stamp, one of Bhutan's record stamps, a block depicting the Seuso treasures, Mór Than's first Hungarian stamp design, the test prints of the Victory stamps and admire the armoured chest that housed our country's precious stamps on the legendary Gold Train, which was transported to Austria during the Second World War.

 

The exhibition, which will feature modern digital installations and films, will be open until the 31st of December in 2025 and is available to the public for free and without registration.
