Post & Communications Museum (Wroclaw)

 post office, 1929_construction

Housed inside the 1929, bullet-knarled former Central Post Office, this magnificent building was one of the first high-rises in Wrocław and is easily recognisable from the Old Town thanks to the crown of satellite dishes on its roof. Today it houses one of the city's more interesting museums, tracing the history of Polish communications from the beginnings of its postal service in 1558 through to the present day. The museum houses some fascinating displays featuring everything from old postmen's uniforms to stamps to a bizarre collection of post boxes of the world. With thoughtful explanations in good English its possible to spend hours in here.
