Inside the stamp

What does it look like inside a stamp?

The Post & Tele Museum inaugurates the biggest stamp album in Denmark. We invite you into a three-dimensional world where the stamp motives have become enormous and have moved out into reality so that you can climb the trees, swim in the sea or move into town.

Welcome to the play centre Inside the stamp, where you learn while playing. Here are no texts that you have to read or objects that may break; just lots of fun activities.

The play centre has been created in close cooperation with the Danish philatelist service Post Danmark Frimærker, which has conjured up the motives of 104 Danish stamps into a giant format. 

One of them is the Round Tower, rising high above Copenhagen. Like the other house fronts in the city, the Tower front has been picked from Danish stamps. You can move in and play with the inhabitants of the houses, or you can become the city postmaster and make sure that people get their letters. If you want to discover more about Danish towns, you can try out the giant board game ‘Round Denmark', moving from stamp to stamp.

A fishing boat is sailing out of a stamp showing a stormy sea. This is where you can dive into a sea of balls and learn about the fish. And go ashore to climb the forest trees, where animals live, or crawl into the burrow to say hello to Mr Badger. Can you and your friends guess the sounds and the tracks of the animals? Or are you really getting hot after your tenth go down the large slides of the play centre?

Entrance to the play centre is free, and it is open every day from 10 to 16.
