The National Postal Museum, located next to Union Station in Washington, was jointly established by the United States Postal Service and the Smithsonian Institution. Although the museum is not large, it is the largest postal museum in the United States, so it has also become a favorite place for stamp collectors. 1. The short film in the Museum of Postal Development will introduce in detail the history of the postal system and postal development in the United States, the communication tools and communication methods of people before airplanes and automobiles, and the original communication tools including carriages and sled dogs are also displayed in the exhibition hall. Postal items sent from here have a special postmark from the museum. 2. Stamp Collection There are many precious stamps and first day covers on display in this section of Stamp World, such as Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" commemorative stamp, and the popular Elvis Presley stamp in 1993. In the global stamps, precious stamps from 24 countries on six continents are displayed, including some stamps that no longer exist. Since 2002, the museum has also hosted the biennial Smithsonian Philatelic Achievement Award.
