This quaint museum will bring you back to in time, to when smartphones and internet technology were not even dreamt of. It brings home the stark realization that getting connected with people from long distance was nearly impossible once upon a time. The museum exhibits all types of stamps from all over the world, as well as different gadgets and items relating to the business of getting letters delivered safely. The Stamp Museum is part of the Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, or the Beautiful Indonesian Cultural Park complex. The Park spans a total area of 100 hectares, and it contains a number of pavilions showcasing the collections of Indonesian vernacular architecture, traditional clothing, cultural objects, and dances as well as textile heritage of all 34 provinces. Are you ready to take a journey back in time?
