Philatelic collection

Philatelic collection of PTT museum contains both domestic and foreign postage stamps.
Shortly after the release of the first postage stamp in England, in 1840, other counties also introduced postage stamps, as insured items, and postal administrations began, gradually, to give great attention to fine art and graphic design of postage stamps as well as to themes and motivs on them. Postage stamp became national landmark of the country and means through which to present the successes and achievements in the field of culture, science, arts, sports, and information about historical events and natural beauty of a country.

The collection of domestic postage stamps contains postage stamps from the period of Principality and Kingdom of Serbia, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, DFJ, FNRJ, SFRJ, SRJ, SCG and RS.
The collection contains postage stamps from the first postage stamp from 1866, up to date and it is been regularly supplemented.

Ordinary and special issue postage stamps of foreign counties, that make up the second part of the collection, were received through exchange with the member countries of the Universal Postal Union.
