Liechtenstein Stamps The
Postage Stamp Museum The Postage Stamp Museum of Liechtenstein has been
in existence since 1930. A large collection of issued stamps from Liechtenstein
dating back to 1912 and swopped stamps, dating from 1921 onwards, from other countries
belonging to the International Philatelic Society, aroused an interest in opening
a postal or stamp museum in Vaduz. Many other items connected with local issues
were also available to this special collection of Liechtenstein: sketches, designs,
prints, printing and colour samples and other interesting material even from the
times before there were any Liechtenstein stamps, in the time of Austrian or Swiss
stamps that were valid in their own right or in conjunction with prepayment from
Liechtenstein. In addition to this, Consul Hermann E. Sieger from Lorch/Wuerttemberg
donated a stamp collection on the founding of the museum. Apart from these
stamp collections there was, in 1930, also a number of printing plates, philatelic
documents and other various items relevant to the history of the Liechtenstein
postal service available. At the moment the Postage Stamp Museum is to be found
on the ground floor at Staedtle 37 in Vaduz. The exhibition shows a representative
cross-section of the stamp collection as well as documents and instruments from
postal history. Much of the collection is stored in archives and is not available
to visitors. As a result of rebuilding works in 1975/76 the exhibition was reformed
according to the most modern knowledge available and apart from saving space,
the ultimate conditions for protecting items on display from damaging light were
achieved. A summary of philatelic history from long ago up to the present
day is displayed in over 300 frames. Part of the exhibition is arranged thematically
and also presents original sketches and designs and other material concerned with
the production of stamps. Apart from the permanent exhibition there are also,
from time to time, temporary exhibitions of special issues or particularly successful
stamp designers. The museum is run by a department responsible in Liechtenstein
for the production of stamps from the choice of subject to the final product.
The collection at the museum itself, and collections that are sent by the museum
around the world arouse a great deal of interest among philatelists and other
visitors.
How to Order Stamps Stamps are issued four times
a year in Liechtenstein, at the beginning of March, June, September and December.
This is usually a total of about 25 stamps with a face value of approx. 35 CHF
per year. Stamps can be bought at the post offices in Liechtenstein. Collectors
of stamps issued in Liechtenstein can place a standing order for new issues. A
leaflet about this is available from: Postwertzeichenstelle der Regierung, FL-9490
