Introduction
The Briefmarken Museum, also known as the Stamp Museum, in the "Pocket Country" is the world's leading postage exhibition. Starting from the first set of stamps issued by Liechtenstein in 1912 and lasting for more than half a century, the museum displays countless types and quantities of stamps. Hanging from the first stamp issued by the country to the ones issued today, as well as stamps and first-day covers issued by more than 100 countries and regions around the world, the museum is not only colorful and vibrant, but also displays postal tools such as flashlights, mailbags, and horns, as well as printing plates and postmarks used to print stamps. In history, stamps once saved Liechtenstein from an economic crisis. After World War II, the king took out his entire collection of famous paintings, printed stamps, and issued them in large quantities. These stamps are popular among stamp collectors around the world, and the country has earned a large amount of foreign exchange income, causing the economy to improve and the king to earn the people's support. The stamp revenue issued each year reaches up to $12 million, accounting for 10% of the country's national income. Address Postmuseum, Städtle 37, 9490 Vaduz
