History edit
The museum opened at a location in Xindian Township, Taipei County on 20 March 1966, on the 70th anniversary of Chunghwa Post. Due to remoteness of the Xindian location and the lack of space, the museum was moved to its present location in the Nanhai Academy in 1984.[1]
Features edit
The museum contains exhibitions about postal history and stamps, the modern postal service, as well as a special exhibition, a library, and a auditorium.[2][3]
