The Museum will be free from 5.15pm to 9.30pm for Culture Night

Now is your chance to see the Letters, Lives and Liberty exhibition, admire Ireland’s oldest pillar box and gain new perspectives on what it was like to work in the Post Office. Not only that but you can see an original 1916 Proclamation, design your own stamp and watch events unfold on Easter Monday 1916 in the GPO.

An Post Museum in Dublin’s GPO opened its doors for the very first time in August 2010 with the Letters, Lives and Liberty Exhibition.

Situated in the very heart of Dublin’s City Centre the An Post Museum gives a unique and wonderful insight in to the history of one of Ireland’s oldest and most respected institutions, the Irish Post Office.

From stamps and mail boats to the role of GPO staff on Easter Monday 1916, Letters, Lives and Liberty tells the story of how the Post Office has played a vital role in the development of Irish society over the generations.

The audio visuals and interactive displays allow visitors to choose subjects of particular interest as they explore aspects of the Irish Post Office story.
