British Postal Museum and Archive

Posted on 28th March 2017 by mariah

The British Postal Museum and Archive will reopen its doors in 2016 at a new London location and purpose built site to house its historic collection. The galleries will explore themes such as the Post Office at war and the communications revolution, and the service’s role in turning points of national and international history.

Collection of Collections collates a selection of great British collections—from those of major institutions to the very personal and idiosyncratic.

Curator Mariah Nielson and designers Åbäke and Thomas Bush are compiling this collection based on personal experiences and curiosities—it is an on-going project that will continue to expand.

These collections were represented in a series of postcards shown in the UK Pavilion at Feria Internacional del Libro which took place from 28 November to 6 December 2015 in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Invaluable assistance was provided throughout by Imogen Adams, Abigail Doran and Cecilia Sosa
