Exhibitions
The BPMA has a thriving programme of exhibitions, most of which are available as online exhibitions. In addition we have a number of exhibitions that are solely online.
Current exhibitions
In addition to our annual Search Room exhibition at The Royal Mail Archive, we mount several exhibitions each year at other venues.
Treasures of the Archive
An exhibition of unique treasures from the BPMA, including a sheet of
penny black stamps and the original die, among many other items of
unparalleled significance in UK postal history.
Museum of the Post Office in the Community
From the opening up of the Royal Mail for public use, to the present day - the many people, equipment and delivery methods that have been employed to enable people to communicate with each other.
Online exhibitions
Listed below are our three most recent online exhibitions. For many more see Online exhibitions.
Designs on Delivery
From the 1930s onwards the Post Office became a leader in the field of poster design, commissioning some of Britain's best artists and designers. The commercial poster reached cultural maturity during this period and became the most eloquent of the mass media.
Mount Pleasant Religious Organisations
Mount Pleasant mail centre is home to a number of social, sporting, cultural and religious groups. This exhibition looks at the three of
them - the Hindu, Sikh and Muslim Associations - and how these groups socialise, worship and celebrate their festivals.
Gentleman on Stamps
David Gentleman has designed 103 issued stamps for Royal Mail since 1962. This exhibition features the artwork for many of these and some designs which have never been seen in public before.
